I attended the recent RPOF meeting held January 9 in Orlando mostly out of curiosity since Greer recently stepped down and since I haven’t been to one in about a year.

I have to admit, I was expecting a little excitement and drama concerning the new Chairman. Alas, I have to wait until next month for the special session.

Instead of a slugfest the session turned into a campaign rally for the Governor, who happens to be running for President. Oops, I mean Senate.

During Crist’s remarks, which turned into a stump speech of how he is going to be the next Senator from Florida he made some rather curious remarks, which went like this…

“I advocated for the stimulus, I thought it was important and I don’t apologize for taking it.”

A pretty bold statement for someone who is losing ground in the polls daily.

He also didn’t apologize for meeting Obama on the campaign trail in South Florida. Instead, he argued about why it was the right thing to do.

On both points, his argument was that he and he alone knows what is best for Florida, despite all the public uproar, and despite the wishes of our elected representatives in the Florida House and Senate.

In so many ways, he sounded like Obama, or a teacher scolding a child.

His speech inspired me. Not because it was particularly inspiring, because it wasn’t. No, it inspired me to go knock on a few doors for his contender and next Senator from Florida, my man, Marco Rubio!
