With polls showing his U.S. Senate rival on his heels, Gov. Charlie Crist reversed course and said he would return all campaign donations from people who worked at alleged swindler Scott Rothstein's law firm in Fort Lauderdale.In a meeting with the The Miami Herald's editorial board, Crist was asked about Republican Senate President Jeff Atwater's pledge to give back contributions -- not just from Rothstein himself but also from his associates at Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler.
"I am doing the same," Crist said. Later Friday, Crist's campaign said he was "in the process'' of returning $76,250 from 35 employees of Rothstein's firm.
Crist had previously returned money from Rothstein and his wife, but had refused to do the same with the money from the firm.

Look at the big money donation! And those in the public eye claim not to react to special interest. How could they not. Donations of this size buy votes in my opinion.
Scott Rothstein apparently spread the wealth!
Crist is on the hot seat and has to return the donations. If there weren't this publicity, would he have done it on his own?
Return to who? Hopefully to Scott Rothstein's victims!
