Crist changes positions on 3 hot issues
Charlie Crist has switched positions on several key issues, and his new stances bring him closer to the views of his opponent in the governor's race.
meklas@MiamiHerald.comUntil recently, Charlie Crist said he was a strong believer in denying felons an automatic right to vote after they left prison.
He was equally emphatic that the FCAT tests as they are now administered are fine.
And he declared that Citizens Insurance, the state-run company that provides windstorm insurance, should be abolished.
Those stances have one thing in common: Crist has changed his position on all three.
The felon-vote issue was accompanied this week by another zigzag, when Crist said he wants to allow flexibility in the way the high-stakes FCAT test is handled, including allowing parents to see the tests and focus on the exam as a ''diagnostic tool'' rather than as punishment for schools' poor performance.
Those are all positions that Democratic opponent Jim Davis has staked out. They are also contrary to Gov. Jeb Bush's approach -- which Crist had earlier said he supported.
