As President Obama travels to Florida tommorow to pitch the economoic stimulus package he will be introduced at a town hall style meeting by Florida Governor Charlie Crist, Republican. Crist issued a statement:

“Florida has taken prudent steps to cut taxes for our people and balance our budget in these increasingly difficult times. Any attempts at federal stimulus must prioritize job creation and targeted tax relief for small business owners. I am eager to welcome President Obama to the Sunshine State as he continues to work hard to reignite the US economy.”

Crist has been an outspoken supporter of the federal stimulus bill, joining other Republican Governor’s in pushing for federal relief. I wonder if a couple of Republican Governor’s who have said they are not in favor will turn down the federal assistance if this bill passes. Any takers on that one? Sanford of South Carolina ans Barbour of Mississippi come to mind.
