Comment: It appears with all the new amendments people can't afford to move to Florida. And unless you are a native you can't afford it before exemptions, from Pensacola by Bobby

Comment: I know that all of us here in pensacola fuss about homeless people, but with the weather gettin so cold I just wanted to voice my opinion that we should have opened our sheltered to them. Do people not realize that it is not just adults out there but these people also have children. And some of these people are lookin' for jobs but there is nothing out there for them...my husband just got laid off...and if it wasn't for his parents we wouldn't know what to do...people should have more compassion..especially for the children...would u want your child cold??? I ask all of you to think about this!!! from Pensacola by Michelle

Comment: Who cares, he is out of touch as Bush is as President. He is Gov., accept that. Just another political clown from Pensacola/Fl by D

Comment: He's doing a great job! from Milton/FL by A

Comment: Over all I guess Go. Crist is doing okay with one exception: His requirements of local and country governments to cut their budget. He has almost made the overall State cut its head off at the shoulders. With the possiblity of having to do away with Amber Alerts and notification of Sexual Pretitors notification because of the cut doesn't work for me. from Mary Esther, FL by Alan

Comment: He appears to have his hand on the pulse and concerns of the people. He does not have all the answers but is willing to search them out. from Gulf Breeze/FL by Don

Comment: with these difficult economic times and his willingness to cross political party lines...yes he is doing a fantastic job! from p'cola fl by h

Comment: Gov Crist is doing a great job. I am a little puzzled as to why you are running this poll. Didn't you believe the pro's results? from Milton by Jim
