 * Charlie Crist 1995 St. Petersburg Times Article.jpg

Hello, I just removed the content that says the Charlie Crist currently has a successor as Representative -- he does not, he is still in office.Letter-to-editor (talk) 02:11, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

TERMS
The dictionary defines FELON as a person who has been convicted of a felony. Therefore EX-FELON is an impossibility, a nonsense-term. (Perhaps you could argue it in the case of an appeal, or whatever.) This argument about this term ought to be explained if it is going to be introduced, at least by reference.

(This also applies to EX-MURDERER. And a variety of other exes. Ex applies to functional identities which can change and are not retained as an honorific: ex-girlfriend, ex-wife, but not (barring resurrection) ex-widow.)

St. John’s penny tax
Please announce that the St. John’s County penny tax on the November ballot is very deceptive. It is a 1% sales tax hike and not a penny tax hike. People are being tricked with false information. 2601:347:4100:1B60:953E:5B74:E3F3:B83E (talk) 15:22, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

"Perennial candidate"
There have been multiple attempts to add "perennial candidate" to the first sentence. The term is generally pejorative, and should not be added to the lead until it is commonly used by independent reliable sources to describe Crist. Schazjmd  (talk)  14:38, 16 November 2022 (UTC)


 * For the record, it is exceptionally rare for a politician who has won major office to be widely labelled a "perennial candidate"; Harold Stassen is the only example I can think of. It's obvious that the attempt to include perennial candidate here at the moment is not in good faith. Curbon7 (talk) 19:21, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I concur that there is no justification for applying that term to Crist. I've known some genuine perennial candidates, and Crist doesn't fall into that category. (It's worth noting for the record that Stassen was at one time a serious contender, and only after decades of increased futility did he acquire that reputation.) -- Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  19:55, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
