For months, Gov. Charlie Crist has insisted that New York socialite Carol Rome is just "a friend," but Tuesday night at a soiree in the Governor's Mansion, he introduced her as "my girlfriend," says the Tallahassee Democrat, which snapped the picture above.

In November, the New York Post reported that Rome, in the midst of divorcing Bluestar Jets CEO Todd Rome, was dating Crist. Then, the governor's staff said Rome, a mother of school-age girls, was just "a friend."

Still, last month Crist took Rome to the White House for a dinner with President Bush. So far, that's two high-profile dates for just a "friend."

This, more than anything, tells me Crist is seeking the VP post.

First “beard”.

[GOPmember]

Oh, please.

Can anyone say "beard"?

[Tribune7]

Liza Minelli was unavailable?

[Red Badger]

He’s got a girlfriend? I coulda swore he was gay!.............must re-calibrate GAYDAR........

[GOPmember]

OK. You got me by 39 seconds.

But, I get extra credit for the picture.

Crist belongs in the lowest ring of hell and he can take his damn girlfriend with him - also his buddy Martinez.

He is one of the major reasons we have that damn loser John McPain as the candidate we have to support in November.

If Obama or Hillary wind up in Washington we can thank Crist.

[neodad]

Not guilty!

[Always Right]

I think this is carole with her ex/husband and family.

[ecomcon]

Another homo mole. Together with a “mother” of school age kids in the process of divorcing some other player. Disgusting phony “elites”.

[JimRed]

Swingin’ both ways, or just window dressing? Inquiring minds want to know!

[PBRSTREETGANG]

No need for re-calibration.

(You may remember Ed Koch and his “girlfriend” Bess Myerson.)

[Perdogg]

wow.

[Red_Devil 232]

Is This Her?

[Mamzelle]

I don’t know much about Crist—are you saying he belongs to Lindsey Graham’s golf club?

[pissant]

Just a beard, I reckon.

Here she is with the husband she's in the midst of divorcing. Lousy boob job. Yeah, she's a beard.

[Obadiah]

Agreed.
