With the passing of Labor Day, no-party candidate Gov. Charlie Crist and Democratic candidate Rep. Kendrick Meek both released their first general election ads for the U.S. Senate race in Florida. Crist rearranges letters spelling out ā€œDEMOCRATSā€ and ā€œREPUBLICANSā€ into ā€œAMERICANS,ā€ saying that he’ll take ā€œthe best ideas from both partiesā€:

Meek’s ad, which will run across most markets in the state tomorrow, is more specific and says he’s the only candidate who is pro-choice, was against offshore oil drilling before and after the Deepwater Horizon spill, and against privatizing Social Security. Gov. Crist has spoken favorably for offshore oil drilling and called himself pro-life before. However, in June, he vetoed a bill requiring women to pay for an ultrasound before getting an abortion, and he supports a ban on the issuance of new leases for offshore drilling.
