I can’t think of any other reason to say something this asinine in the middle of a GOP Primary.

So we need to be vigilant for a party switch from Crist – this latest move really does seem to be laying the groundwork for it.

I think someone should examine his mental stability. How could anyone reasanably connected to reality think this approach will get him elected?

Who says we’re gonna keep Charlie ?

I almost think Rubio should start making some gaffes just to ensure Crist stays in the Republican primary.

I can see Crist being spiteful and vain enough to jump parties, and it absolutely will hurt Rubio if Crist makes a run as an independent, even though Crist has absolutely no chance winning. All Crist has to do is siphon off 5-7% of the vote, and suddenly we have a very close race.

In the same way Daggett almost put Corzine over the top in New Jersey, I could see a Crist candidacy taking away a Senate seat from us. Especially since Crist is a sitting Governor, that lends his campaign quite a bit of credibility (unfortunately).

As much as I want to see Crist humiliated, I’m definitely not cheering on him to leave the Republican Party and undertake a kamikaze mission.

All you need to know about Crist. He doesn’t actually say he supports the health care bloated bill. His phrases slip and slide around like a chameleon on a quivering aspen branch. Then he slips into that D.Medina lingo of dividing state and federal concerns:

You know, I’m pretty focused on Florida right now. I mean, after the session I’ll be more focused on the issues in Washington. But I’ve got to do my first job first.”

Well you know, Mr. Crist, the Feds want to tell YOUR state how to manage health care in this eminent domain bill.
Go Rubio!

If Charlie jumps to Independant or Democrat, will that count as quitting the race in an office pool? I have one day left, (I picked February) and am just waiting for this piece of bread to be pulled out of the toaster, the fake tan scaped off and eaten for breakfast.

Vote Rubio, Crist will be the 60th vote.

Latest polling, Crist donw by 18% in second poll this week.

Rubio up by 20% over strongest Dem challenger, Meek

All hope gone for Charlie.

This was a man that I mildly liked a year ago.

No way now.

It shows how distanced from reality he is when he is in the minority in the general public that wants to work on the Dem bill..forget the massive majority within his own party.

Right now, I am not sure that Crist could win even if he ran as a Democrat.

Maybe Charlie will come out of both closets not just the political one.

How will this bill impact his state? Cost benefit analysis? He is sleeping on the job. Why should the voters reward him for that?

He doesn’t want to scrap it. He can’t name one thing that he likes. Sounds Stupid to me.

He’s done.

Charlie said he had no plans to run as an independent. He did not say he would not run as an independent. Plans change.

National Republican leaders today quickly endorsed Governor Charlie Crist’s bid for the U.S. Senate.

Within hours of Crist’s announcement, he was endorsed by Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and by the Republican Senate campaign chairman John Cornyn.

This is the political wisdom of our GOP leadership. These guys need to be taken to the woodshed if Crist bolts the party rather than simply stepping aside.

June 16, 2009 – Jim DeMint endorses Marco Rubio when Rubio was trailing Crist in the polls 54-23.
