If Crist ran for re-election instead of running for the US Senate. Democrats would have won the OPEN US Senate Seat- Martinez is vacating.
Ron Klien, Kathy Castor, or Debbie Wasserman Schultz would have entered the US Senate Race. With the exception of Jeb Bush,Ilena Ros Lehtenin and maybe Connie Mack Jr. The Republican candidates would not stand a chance of getting elected to the US Senate.
2010 was a best time for Crist to get elected to the US Senate. It is an open seat election. Bill Nelson's seat does not come up until 2012- Unseating Nelson in 2012 or the new Democratic US Senate from FL in 2016 will be difficult, Crist is no longer going to have a high job approval rating. The last Florida Governor to get elected US Senate- Bob Graham- unseated Republican Incumbent Paula Hawkins who was part of the 1980 Reagan Revolution.
