"I'm a single mom. I'm a disabled single mom. I look at my son every day, and I want him to have all the opportunities that my parents were able to give to me. I know that this president is the one who works for me, who fights for me. And that's what we need—someone who's going to remember that we're not all even upper-middle class. So many of us are down in the trenches, trying hard every day. That's how he grew up. That's how this president grew up. He understands what it's like for me, what it's like for my son.

"My son wants to go to Stanford. How am I going to send my son to Stanford if things go back to what they were? We have to keep moving forward, for the sake of our kids, for the sake of us, for all of us who are lower class. We're not low-class people, we're just financially strapped. He understands that's worth fighting for, and that's what he does. So that's what we do: We stand up with him and for him and fight every day."

From 2007 to 2011, Charlie Crist was the Republican governor of Florida. This year, he's endorsed President Obama for re-election, and he's actively campaigning for a president he calls "the right man for the job."

Today, he stopped by the Gotta Vote bus in Tampa to encourage Sunshine State voters to cast their ballots early for Barack Obama:

"Early voting officially begins in Florida tomorrow morning at 7 a.m. This is too important. It's too important for your future, too important for your children's future. Every little thing you do can make a difference. In Florida, we know what it's like to be close in a race. 537 votes in 2000 made all the difference in the world. Florida's the checkmate state. If we get Florida, there is almost no way for the opponents to get to the White House. …

"Barack Obama needs to be a two-term president. I got to know him during my last two years as governor, his first two years as president. What he did for Florida is dramatic and helpful beyond words. He saved so many of our public school teachers, firefighters, police officers' jobs. Without that Recovery Act funding, we wouldn't have been able to stabilize the economy and start growing again.

"This is the right thing to do. He's the right man for the job."
