Crist announcement scheduled Thursday

[30ashopper]

Gov. Charlie Crist said he hopes to decide whether to run for U.S. Senate as a Republican or as an independent by Thursday. He must file his formal election papers by Friday at noon, or 12 hours before the legislature has to complete its work.


?I?d like to go ahead and get that concluded then look forward to the last day of session,? Crist said.

Crist says he hasn?t made up his mind yet. But it looks like he?s likely to abandon the GOP.

Really nothing new here, we all know he'll go back on what he's previously stated and run as an independent. Which should be interesting, the state will be in the political lime light again! Yehaw!

Me predicts this asswipe will go down either way, no pun intended.

I heard yesterday that if Crist runs as an independent he would beat both Rubio and Meek. It seems to me that Meek would have a better chance to win the general election if Crist does not run as an independent. Should be an interesting race!!

I think we need many more independents - if only to break up the us vs. them Dem vs. Repub mentality that is hamstringing our government.

FiveThirtyEight has Rubio beating both of them currently, but the election a long way off. If a three-way election were held today, Meek would lose regardless.

I honestly am not that picky about either, I'll vote for Rubio currently but really, Rubio or Crist, it isn't that big a deal for me. We just need to make sure Meek loses.

Margarita, I just got the same info. on ABC Evening News. If Crist runs as an Independent, he would win over Rubio and Meek. I don't think it would change his position on issues, however?????

May not change his positions overall, but I suspect his opinions aren't nearly as far right as Rubio. This was more than likely a Republican race anyway whether it was two horses or three. IMO Crist is by far more moderate than his "former" Republican competitor.

IMO, the best thing that Democrats could do is offer their support in return for a few promises, ie: His agreement to fight further oil development in the Gulf that could impact the coastline....
