...desperate-looking attack ads, say many Florida political experts, Crist should emphasize a gubernatorial record that's more Republican-friendly than his foes admit. "Crist did preside over one of the largest tax reductions in Florida history," says Sean Foreman, a political scientist at Barry University in Miami, referring to Crist's multibillion-dollar property-tax cuts. "He needs to define Rubio, but he also needs to define himself better, especially his experience vs. Rubio's lack of it. If he does that, I still think Crist hasn't lost this...

...Rubio's campaign argues that his record as state house speaker, when he ushered bills like an insurance overhaul for hurricane-harassed Floridians, reflects experience as well. But Foreman believes Rubio faces his own dilemma: whether to continue to keep a safe distance from, or buddy up to, the Tea Party fringe that has helped galvanize his poll numbers but remains skeptical about his commitment to red-meat causes like immigration restrictions and gun owners' rights.

And there is a group who work for realtors cleaning out foreclosed homes. They empty everything that is left in the house, resell what that can salvage and do minor repairs. It's sad.

...dollars to pols and parties, especially the state's GOP, often in ways that may have violated campaign-finance laws. (Prosecutors allege, for example, that he laundered political contributions through large bonuses that he paid to members of his law firm, which has since collapsed.) Florida political analyst Sean Foreman of Barry University in Miami doesn't think the scandal will cause much fallout for those, like Crist, who have returned the money in a timely fashion. (Since Rothstein's indictment last month, Crist, who is in a tight race for a U.S. Senate seat this year, has given back...
