Wow. Just WOW. First I hear Charlie Crist is losing his mind, now this Nan Rich is running as well? Let me be CLEAR about this: So long as I'm Governor of Florida, Crist and Rich are down here, I'm UP here! And that's the way it's going to be!
Former Florida Governor Charlie Crist may be stealing all the spotlights in his race to win the Democratic nomination to run vs. vulnerable incumbent Governor Rick Scott for Governor of Florida.
However, that's not stopping fellow Democratic Candidate Nan Rich from continuing on with her campaign considering the Florida Primary Election for 2014 is held August 26, 2014.
Tomorrow, March 13th, Nan Rich and her campaign are hosting a phone bank at the El Portal Village Hall in Miami, FL. Details of the phone bank event are as follows:

Date: Thursday, March 13
Time: 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm EDT
Location:
El Portal Village Hall
500 NE 87th St
Miami, FL 33138
Here's Nan Rich in an interview on Facing South Florida CBS:

Rich recently came out strongly opposing school vouchers, which appears to be what Charlie Crist, even as a non-Democratic Candidate, supports, along with Rick Scott:

“My position on vouchers has always been crystal clear,” said Rich. “I opposed them when Republican Gov. Jeb Bush introduced them. I opposed them when Republican Gov. Charlie Crist expanded them. I oppose expanding them now. Vouchers allow public money to go to private schools and that’s just not right – period.”
“That’s simply bad public policy -- it’s bad for public schools, bad for teachers, and bad for students,” Rich said. “Gov. Scott said he is ready to sign the bill to expand the voucher program as soon as the bill gets to his desk. I wouldn’t. As governor, I would veto this bad legislation -- without hesitation.”
Based on Nan Rich's point of view on the issues, per her website, she's very much progressive and lists stances on the following issues:
http://www.nanrich2014.com/...
Anti-Voting Disenfranchisement (obviously it's a big issue in FL)
Anti-Fraking
No GMOs
Pro-Marriage Equality
Pro-Medicare Expansion
Pro-Public Education and education in general
