In what could be good news for Gov. Charlie Crist, a new Rasmussen survey of likely Florida voters reports that 54 percent say neither Republican nor Democratic leaders have a good understanding of what is needed today.

The pox on both partisan houses, which mirrors the national mood, is downright angry. Sixty-nine percent of Florida voters say they are angry at the current policies of the federal government, including 47 percent who are "very angry."

Tapping into that angst, Crist has taken to the airwaves in the last few days to "spell out" his bipartisan vision. Arraying giant red and blue letters, Crist's message is clear -- he'll draw from the best Republican and Democratic ideas.

But Crist's gambit is a gamble because his overall tilt toward Democratic positions moves him closer to the Obama administration. That's liable to make D.C.-phobic Floridians even more "angry" ... at him.
