Crist-Morgan 2014 ad hits the airwaves

Multiple media outlets have written about legalizing marijuana in Florida, a.k.a. Amendment 2, was designed to get out the vote for Charlie Crist. Well the Republican Governors Association (RGA) has taken note of this political strategy and produced a campaign ad linking John B. Morgan, of Morgan & Morgan, and Charlie Crist, one of John Morgan’s employees.

Ana Cruz, former executive director of the Florida Democratic Party, said, “I wish that it didn’t take medical marijuana on the ballot to motivate our young voters. But listen, we’ll take it any way we can get it.”

Ben Pollara, a Democratic fundraiser and campaign manager for the United for Care group, stated, “We want to be able to have our stereotypical, lazy pothead voters to be able to vote from their couch.”

Here is the RGA campaign ad titled, “Crist-Morgan for Florida“:

John Kennedy from the Palm Beach Post reported:

“With little to say about Crist’s record, Morgan resorted to drunken obscenities to try to generate excitement about voting for the notorious political opportunist,” said RGA Communications Director Gail Gitcho.

“If these are the political allies Crist keeps and would be willing to elevate to positions of authority, his judgment needs a serious course correction,” she added.

Morgan has made no apology for his comments at the Lakeland event, which followed his appearance in a debate with Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, a leader in the campaign against the marijuana measure on November’s ballot.

As American essayist and novelist Charles Dudley Warner wrote, “Politics makes strange bedfellows.” In this case marijuana makes strange bedfellows – Crist, Morgan and the Democrat Party of Florida.
