She's Florida's first girlfriend

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."

It sure does. I bet he has an inside track. Good news for Florida, he would have to quit to run for VP I hear. Bad news for the world if they win.

she’s pretty hot-but I would suggest she talk to Dana McGreevy.

[Andy'smom]

Yeah, they both swing their clubs the same way.

“I coulda swore he was gay!”

He sort of reminds me of Michael Jackson. Probably has the same publicist.

[Hildy]

Only here for a sec, what does ‘she’s a beard’ mean?

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

I think your gaydar is functioning perfectly. She is a standin for his boyfriend.

The GOP is too far ahead in Florida to pull anyone from there (e.g. Jeb Bush or Crist)... the VP spot will go to someone in a battle state, a general, and/or a minority.
