Ad Uses Governor Crist's Own Words To Show His Home Is With The GOP

Governor Crist: "I think it's important for people to understand who the real conservative is in this race. And it's Charlie Crist"

MIAMI GARDENS, FLA. -- The Kendrick Meek campaign released its first radio ad in the general election campaign today.

The ad uses Governor Crist's own words to show he is a lifelong conservative Republican with the record to prove it. In the ad, Governor Crist himself explains his support for offshore oil drilling and touts his consistent opposition to a woman's right to choose.

The ad began running statewide this morning. You can listen to the ad here.

The script of the ad reads below:
