FL 2014: Crist is in.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Can we trust this guy? I mean, he switched parties.

He's changed parties - but he hasn't changed his beliefs, which have stayed fairly middle-of-the-road throughout. A governor who extends early voting has no place in a party dedicated to voter suppression, one who opposes merit pay has no place in Krazen's GOP, and one who supports a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants has no place in CARLHAYDEN's GOP. Crist has always been a moderate in an increasingly far-right party; eventually something had to give. I'll be supporting Charlie.

I agree that this is one of the few cases of, "I didn't leave the party; the party left me."

Gimme me a break. He may have been moderate for a Republican, but if Rubio hadn't happened he'd be a Republican Senator today.

This. Rubio is not exactly Ted Cruz. Crist put his ambition above Florida, and lost, and now wants to be relevant. It’s not like he was primaried by Rick Scott and quit being Governor.

No, because he switched twice (to an independent an then to Democrat)

BS, there's only been one switch: Republican to Democrat. I don't consider what he had to do in 2010 a "switch."


Geez. It's not like I'd ask Crist to babysit my kids, but some of y'all just seem determined to be Negative Nancys in this thread.

Why shouldn't we be? Crist is a total asshole.

I just saw an anti-Crist ad ALREADY on TV. It was a bunch of statements by Democrats (Sink, Meek, Karen Thurman, Buckhorn, and Al Gore) on Crist's duplicitous nature and his flip flops. Scott is starting as soon as possible.

Somebody in the RPOF is worried about their unpopular incumbent going up against a popular challenger.

Thank God the DPOF is ran by a group of fourth grade civics students, or we would be in trouble. Scott's record is only marginally better than Crist's record.

Must have been spooked by something. Who would give an oppurtunity like that up?

I'm getting attack ads on Crist before YouTube videos now - paid for by Scott's 527.

I just saw one a second ago. I was impressed with the ad and did not skip it like I almost always do .
