Description | TALLAHASSEE - Charlie Crist's political role models are Ronald Reagan and Connie Mack, and he has spent his public career emulating both men.
Reagan was the "Great Communicator" whose great skill as president was connecting with people. Mack was the two-term Florida senator known for civility and a "less taxes, more freedom" philosophy.
Neither seemed burdened by the complexities of public policy, but both enjoyed great success.
Like Crist, both men conveyed hopeful messages. Like Crist, both were fiscal conservatives, not social conservatives - and there's a big difference. |
