One Month ago today:


March 28, 2010

CHRIS WALLACE, HOST
CHARLIE CRIST

WALLACE: ...have been persistent rumors in Florida that you are so far behind, at least currently, in the polls...that you may run instead as an independent. Here is your chance to dispel all the rumors. Are you willing to pledge right here, right now that you will run in the Republican primary for the U.S. Senate and not run as an independent?

CRIST: I’m running as a Republican...

WALLACE: So are you ruling out that you will file as an independent by the April 30th deadline?

CRIST: That’s right. That’s right. I’m running as a Republican.

WALLACE: You will run not for a governor — you’ll run for Senate, and you will run as a — in the Republican primary.

CRIST: ...I’m running as a Republican...

WALLACE: Will you support the winner of the GOP primary, whether it’s you or Marco Rubio?

CRIST: Of course I will...

WALLACE: Well, I’m going to get — I’m going to — I’ll give you an opportunity for a final statement. I just want to say, though, you are saying you are going to run in the Republican primary for the U.S. Senate. You will not run on the no party affiliation line.

CRIST: That’s right. That’s right. That’s what I’m saying.

Rubio with his Arizona stance might just have lost this election. I am upset with all the knee jerk reactions with this law ARIZONA passed. Do these folks even know WHY they passed such a law and did they even READ the bill before spouting off. Pisses me off.

Doesn’t matter too much. Who really cares about Rubio anymore? He’s targeting the moderates, since he’s not really a true conservative.

Rubio = Moderate
Christ = Rino

When you read THE WHOLE THING - you see this:

I hope Congress and the Obama Administration will use the Arizona legislation not as an excuse to try and jam through amnesty legislation, but to finally act on border states’ requests for help with security and fix the things about our immigration system that can be fixed right now – securing the border, reforming the visa and entry process, and cracking down on employers who exploit illegal immigrants.

Doesn't seem bad to me at all.

This is the loyal stand-up guy we’ve had representing the GOP in Florida.

Similar to Specter in Pennsylvania who the party grandees backed against all comers til the day he finally officially jumped ship.

This is what happens when you let the party bigshots pick your candidates, you get guys like Crist and Specter. And when the rank and file flip on the kitchen light the rats expose themselves.

Crist has been exposed.

Rubio is the way to go. I think all Charlie will do is draw from the left, e.g. the teachers he bent over for.

If I were in FL, Rubio would not lose my vote over that statement.
