Charlie Crist Announces Independent Run for Senate

He's left the Republican Party to run for the Senate as an independent.

The reason that he gives is that the, "political system [is] broken."

I think that he would have gotten a few more votes out of telling the truth, which is that, "The nutjobs in the Florida Republican party are running the asylum now."

In related news, John Cornyn, head of the RSCC, wants his money back.

If Crist has any brains, he will tell him, and anyone else, to go pound sand, that they contributed to a conservative candidate for Senate, and he is still that.

He could play it as Reagan did with his, "I am paying for this microphone, Mr. Breen.," moment.
