MS Nan only raises $3,500.00 a week. For the size of FL and only about 35% of all registered voters are Dems, no matter how many volunteers MS Nan has, they can only offer their own one vote. Ask the average FL voter: "Who is Nan Rich?" and they will probably say a contestant on dancing With the Stars!!! POTUS Obama ONLY won FL by 1% (one percent) in 2012. there was no landslide! No POTUS Obama on the 2014 ballot. No Dem US Senator Bill nelson on the 2014 Ballot. Dems, please try THINKING!!!!

Ellen and Patti, I admire your dedication. But where are the volunteers? I live in Dem rich Broward County and I have yet to see a single Nan Rich volunteer. Even the Democratic Club of Wynmoor in Coconut Creek, have no plans to invite MS Nan Rich to speak to our club, where over 4,500 Dems live. Money talks. Accept this political fact. MS Rich cannot even raise over $3,500.00 a week. That will not pay for the rent of all the needed state-wide offices. And so what is Charlie was a Republican? He is now a registered Democrat. Did the GOP turn Mr. Ronald Reagan when he became a Republican? No way. They elected him POTUS twice!!!!! when Charlie becomes the Dem's nominee, I am sure so many Rich's supporters will stay home in Nov. 2014. Accept the fact that GOP Scott will easily win if Nan's followers do not go out and volunteer for Charlie after the Dem primary. TRUE? TRUE!!!!

GOP Gov. Scott has lowered the state's unemployment rate by 39%. Not 3.9%. But by 39%. And you Dems think he should be ousted? Get real!!!!! MS Nan Rich is only raising about $3,500.00 a week. No way to buy TV ads. No way to even rent out offices for the volunteers thru out the state. Scott has a budget surplus of $850,000,000.00. And you expect the GOP to vote him out of office? Get Real!!!! Scott is willing to put $150,000,000.00 of his own money into the race. Then expect another $100,000,000.00 from the GOP Koch brothers. Dems, open your eyes. Even Dem volunteers want pizzas and soda for them. Get Real!!!

Don't forget that it is the grass roots volunteers who bring out the voters. Nan has energized volunteers committed to work with her because of her honesty and courage. We need a woman to sweep out the good old boys who have ruined our State. Be honest.....Charlie has a lot of baggage. And he will owe his election to big business. Do you really think anything is going to change?

The "Charlie Crist Crowd" keeps repeating that, "Nan Rich can't win." They keep saying it, hoping that it will reverberate in the community and people will just repeat it, making it come true. Nan Rich DOES have grassroots support. We don't have a lot of money, but we have time and energy. Never doubt that a singular group of people can change the world...that's all that ever has!!! Thank you Margaret Mead.
