Via the Tampa Bay Times, former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist - widely seen as a potential future candidate for the job, only as a Democrat - is backing Sen. Bill Nelson in his Florida Senate race.
Crist will attend a fundraiser with Bill Clinton - who famously tried to get Kendrick Meek to bow out of the three-way U.S. Senate race in 2010 so Crist could win, and caucus with Democrats.
It's not exactly hard to see Crist making it formal at some point, if he does run
Good thing we weren't fooled by you worthless oligarchs who want to choose your own colleagues, who would do anything possible to thwart conservatives.
Word around the campfire is that Crist wants to run against Rick Scott in the 2014 governor’s race. That’ll be a hoot!
Fire John Cornyn now. The most dangerous of all Senators. Serious fifth columnist.
Hell hath no fury like a shemale scorned.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAH !
I’m sure Nelson is thrilled... but not as much as Connie Mack is !
“Fairy Dust !”

Yeah, that’s a laughable idea. With Governor Scott cleaning up the voting rolls by getting rid of dead or illegal voters on top of Crist not being able to prevail statewide in 2010, he doesn’t have a chance.
But the GOP might back Crist.
You darn conservatives are making it harder for a good ole statist to run as anything other than a Democrat. What are you thinking! / s
Look at the very first line in this article. They even make allusions to Crist running against Scott as a Dem.
Cornyn, if he wants to be reelected will be doing the Orrin Hatch and Lindsay Graham two-step, that is, following the lead of their state’s junior senator.
If he doesn’t want to get reelected, he’ll be like Kay Bailey, helping the democrats thwart the conservatives at every turn.
until he dropped out of the Florida Senate primary back in 2008 he was claiming to be to the right of Ronald Reagan ... ....now he’s endorsing democrats...and raising money for them ...this guy has to be the most despicable person in politics ..what a total jackass
and to think the republican establishment was behind this guy ...my god
A lot of RINO’s would switch sides rather than back a conservative.
If Texas reelects Cornyn, they are no better than Massachusetts.
Just one more reason to get rid of Nelson
“A lot of RINO’s would switch sides rather than back a conservative.”
Good! They’re democrats anyway. Let’s smoke them all out. Specter, Crist, Jeffords, Chafee, Murkowski, Scozzafava, etc., not to mention those in REPUBICAN leadership that preferred democrats over O’Donnell, Buck, Miller and Angle.
We’re not fooled anymore.
Echos of Jim Jeffords of Vermont - Elected and then re-elected as a Republican to the US Senate, he chose to align with the Democrat in 2001, because he considered the Republicans, and particularly George W. Bush, to be “unfair”.
It did earn him the Time Magazine “Man of the Year” rating.
BFD. Has anybody heard of him since?
Charlie Suntan makes a fool of himself. Again.
charlie crist is a loser rino fag.
