Charlie Crist is not going to visit Cuba. In a statement from his campaign the Democratic candidate for governor said he still opposes the embargo but will not go to Cuba this summer as he suggested he might. 

Here is the statement:

Statement from Brendan Gilfillan, Crist campaign spokesperson, on Cuba

 "Despite his stark disagreements with the government in Cuba, the governor continues to believe the embargo hasn’t worked for the Cuban people and is bad for Florida's economy. If at some point after the election there is an opportunity to travel there to learn from the people of Cuba and help find opportunities for Florida businesses the governor will go.

 "Between now and November, Governor Crist is determined to spend as much time as possible meeting with Floridians to discuss creating a stronger economy for our middle class families. The future of our state and our people deserve nothing less."
