The debut of our weekly political winner and political loser is in today's print Buzz column:

WINNER: Charlie Crist. Just as his offshore drilling flip was tarnishing his green image, he wows the nation with an audacious $1.7-billion plan to buy out U.S. Sugar to restore the Everglades. Crist hero Teddy Roosevelt must be smiling on Florida's top Republican.

LOSER: Former state Sen. Walter "Skip" Campbell, D-Tamarac, whom Bill McCollum beat for attorney general, was all bluster about his ability this year to unseat state Sen. Jeff Atwater, R-Palm Beach Gardens, in line to be Senate president. Now Campbell is talking about dropping out, leaving his party in a lurch.
