ST. PETERSBURG ��-- Completing a weekend that kicked off the governor's race in the crucial Tampa Bay area, former Gov. Charlie Crist roused a crowd of Democrats on his home turf in Pinellas County Saturday by telling them Gov. Rick Scott is "a fraud."

"He's going to say anything, do anything to try to get back there, to try to wipe his past away," Crist said. "I'm running against a $100 million war machine."

But, he said, "In this election, the truth is coming -- and it's you."

Crist spoke to the premier annual fundraising event of the Democratic Party of Pinellas County, his home turf, as friendly a crowd as he'll see on the campaign trail.

The appearance followed one by Scott at a Hillsborough County Republican Party dinner Friday, as the two begin a battle for what may be the most crucial political area in the coming election, the Tampa Bay area, a swing-voting swath of Central Florida that's also the state's largest media market.

But while Scott has been coming to Tampa on a more-than-weekly basis, Crist has been concentrating on South Florida, where he needs a big turnout from the state's largest cache of Democrats, making comparatively few appearances here.

Opening his speech, Crist told the crowd, "I'm going to litigate Rick Scott."

1. The results of this election could determine whether there is a fair vote in Florida in 2016.

I hope the DOJ is watching.

2. That would be refreshing

I doubt Florida has seen a fair and honest election in a long time.
