“If he pulls out, like he says he would, he would have a good chance to win. I support him because he looks out for the voters.”

“No, I don’t think he can win as an Independent. He doesn’t appeal to both the Republicans and the Democrats.”

“I like Gov. Crist. I believe he has a good chance to win the Senate seat. He’s been a good governor of both the Democrats and the Republicans.”

“If he serves the people as well as he did as governor, I would support him. I think it’s a good idea to be an independent.”

“I hope so. I like what he did for the teachers when he vetoed the bill that would have hurt them. I think he would be a good U.S. senator.”
