Florida Governor and Republican candidate for US Senate Charlie Crist was asked today about an Independent bid should he lose the upcoming Republican primary to Marco Rubio. His response: "I'm not thinking about that today. We'll look at that later on."

RINO’s are evil.

They would rather elect a Democrat than a conservative.

[JoSixChip]

He is free to do what he want’s, this is still a free country despite the efforts of his buddy obumber. But IMHO it will not end well for him, or us.

[Frantzie]

Did he also admit that he is possibly g*y?

[AmishDude]

There is no way he wins the election this way. Going independent has one of two outcomes: Elect Rubio or elect Meeks.

It depends on how much spite Crist has in him.

True character is coming out ...

There are three things to look for in a politician

CHARACTER CHARACTER CHARACTER

The rest doesn’t count.

[GeronL]

He is a RINO and he has more love for the Democrats than he does for any conservative. You can bet on that.

[samadams2000]

This would be expected from a man that values a good suntan.

[kabar]

Rubio will win regardless.

[Pan_Yan]

Possibly?

Where did the doubt come from?

[Badeye]

Who didn’t see this coming?

[llevrok]

Good. THis will split the Dem (not R) vote

[Frantzie]

Charlie Crist has more love for Democrats and his fellow *man*.

[Farmer Dean]

Another sore loser who won’t just go away quietly.I am so sick of this type.

[Frantzie]

Charlie values important things like a good suntan and his Judy Garland record collection.

[Obadiah]

And that, my FRiends, is why RINOs are actually worse than Democrats.

With Democrats you know where they stand. RINOs are simply political mercenaries who are only loyal to themselves at the expense of all others except the one paying them at the moment.

Judas goats by any other name.

Connie Mack resigned as Crist’s senior advisor(?) today.
No reason given so far.
That has to hurt, Connie Mack is huge in Florida.

I try to avoid direct involvement in other State's primaries, and thus have avoided previously expressing my admiration for the articulated mental clarity of Rubio in the Florida Republican Primary. But Crist's latest actions are too contemptible not to criticize.

If Crist wanted to run as an independent, he should simply have done so. But to commit to a Primary race; to represent himself as a Republican candidate in 2010, and then when he realizes he cannot win, to abandon the Party he previously chose, in a race he previously committed to that Party, is simply contemptible. It is pretty clear evidence of how little the man's word means. It suggests that his oath of office is no better.

He might fit very well into the Obamanist climate in Washington, but he is beneath the contempt of all honorable men & women.
