BIG TIME DEMOCRATIC FUNDRAISER HELPS CRIST CAMPAIGN

It's not that unusual for business people to "play both sides of the aisle", contributing money and efforts to both Democratic and Republican politicians. With corporate types, that's standard practice in many cases to insure that they are not ignored by whichever political party happens to be in power.

But it was rather odd to read in Scott Maxwell's Orlando Sentinel column this morning that attorney John Morgan, who is well known for his "For the People" television and radio ads, is supporting Republican gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist. Morgan was hoping to raise $100,000 for the Attorney General from a gathering at his home in Lake Mary last evening.

The lawyer is well known as a major fund raiser for Democratic candidates, but told Maxwell that while Crist "is very conservative, he is truly the consumer's friend."
