TheBlaze Blog got around to reading some of Former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist‘s memoir, co-written by his lookalike Ellis Henican, and it can mostly be summed up as 340 pages of why Crist renounced the Republican Party and should now be elected as the next Democratic governor of the Sunshine State.

The book recounts the cute moment Crist told Obama adviser Valerie Jarett he was going to register as a Democrat (he was formerly a Republican-turned independent) during a White House tour. And the first line of the final chapter begins, “I am convinced of it: The Democratic Party is the right home for me.”

Here, we hone in on one of the more interesting points in the book: When Crist campaigned for John McCain in 2008.

Crist first tells of how he was deeply considered as a possible running mate for McCain, only to be passed up for Sarah Palin. Crist doesn’t say anything overtly negative about Palin. But he seems deeply upset that she wouldn’t talk to him on the trail....

She’s more astute than a lot of people apparently think.

“Gee Charlie I wonder why Sarah stayed away..because because you stink”

Nah, she’s afraid of men with orange skin! Probably same aversion for Boner.

I think she just isn't that attracted to him. After all, he is a rat.

Of note: Crist is leading his opponent, incument Rick Scott, by nearly 10 points in the latest Quinnipiac poll.
That’s real impressive. Has Scott apologized to George Zimmerman yet?
