Crist ran ads bitching about the stimulus after taking the money. This will be a problem.
(I am looking at this as a spectator, for the record)

“It is not the case in Florida — we accepted the stimulus money; all of my fellow governors did,” Crist said. “I think it was the responsible and right thing to do for the people and it puts people above politics. In Florida alone, for example, it created or maintained at least 87,000 jobs; 27,000 of those jobs are educators and teachers throughout the state. I dare say what the impact would be throughout the state if those teachers were out of work, unable to put bread on the table of their families. This is necessary and it relates to job creation.”
