charlie crist's former party has moved so far to the right he was essentially pushed out. his sins? in 2008, christ held the polls open so the long lines of voters could cast their ballots, which helped barack obama win the state and the white house. as governor, he vetoed a bill that would have required women to pay for an ultrasound before getting an abortion. he restored voting rights for former felons and vetoed a union-busting merit pay bill for teachers. so can charlie crist reinvent himself as a centrist democrat ask get back into the governor's mansion? polls indicate that, yes, he would beat rick scott but some democrats say no, and here's part of an ad currently running on youtube from his democratic opponents supporting his primary challenger, nan rich. >> i work to be the people's governor every day. you, the people, were in charge. >> hi, this is charlie crist calling to set the record straight. i'm pro life, i oppose amnesty for illegal immigrants, i support traditional marriage, paid for by charlie crist, republican for governor. >> the people, always have,

governor crist, it is amazing watching your career. it's amazing watching the weird warping off of your old party. what i find awful, it's one thing to disagree with the president, but to treat him like he has cooties, like in high school, you can't be near him, you can't hug him. a guy said i was ten feet from him and it made me sick. i looked him in the face and it made me sick. you lie. this personal assault on the person of the president as well as the office is bad politics. what do you think? and is that part of the reason you had to make your move? >> absolutely, chris. it's not only bad politics. it's bad behavior. we're supposed to treat each other with a level of respect and decency that we're taught in our judeo christian upbringing. when somebody comes who is the president of the united states. he came to ft. myers, florida. the reason he was coming was to help our state, some republicans took offense to that was stunning to me. this is the president of the united states of america. and so what if he's not your same party.

i was told yesterday by charlie crist in florida, he sure isn't going to run away from it. and i think the democrats will be making a huge mistake for running away from obama care. the white house is saying that almost 5.5 million americans will be uninsured because of republican governors' failure to expand medicare in their states. are republican governors more interested in politics or helping their own people? >> well, i think that they are interested in keeping people desperate or in -- and that allows them to be able to demagog, and that allows them to try to do something and make a political out of it. it doesn't help people get health care. it doesn't get a family the health care they need when they get sick or injured. and in my opinion, that's unfortunate. and so for those who live up under those governorses who won't help them, i think those folks really need to figure out if they can do better. >> the democrats -- i'll give an example. i got a phone called today from a lady down in florida. she said she finally got into the exchange. she has tried every day to g
