• A judge in Naples will decide today whether a class action suit by GOP donors seeking refunds from a now-independent Charlie Crist will be allowed to go forward. From the Naples Daily News:
At 9 a.m., Senior Collier Circuit Judge Jack Schoonover will begin hearing a motion to certify whether two plaintiffs, Linda Morton, a Lely mother of four, and John Rood of Jacksonville, a retired U.S. ambassador, can represent a class of roughly 2,000 donors to Crist’s Republican campaign. That number represents those who donated money before Crist announced April 29 he wasn’t running as a Republican, but as an independent candidate.
