Charlie Crist the great unifier
09/13/2010
No-Party Gov. Charlie Crist has a new ad for his campaign to become Florida's next U.S. Senator.
He is walking along the beach - looking a bit like Moses carrying a staff and wearing tasseled loafers.
He draws a line in the sand and says he will work with both Republicans and Democrats to adopt their best ideas.
But for a candidate who got shoved out of the Republican Party it is hard to see him in the role of unifier when Republicans continue to vilify him.
During Crist's first year as governor, to reach out to both parties. He often appeared to make more headway with Democrats than the folks in his former party.
Can Charlie Crist be the great unifier?
Not likely, but he does seem to be tapping into the mood of those voters who are weary of party fighting that has less to do with helping Floridians than with staying in power.
McCain is sputid. He picked failed, 1/2 time, quitter Gov. Palin which guaranteed him a loss instead of a successful Governor from FL, Crist, as his running mate. McCain might have won the WH with Crist. Instead, he chose a loser. Good luck in the November elections. It will be interesting. There may be a third candidate on the Governor's ticket in Nov in PA.
