Charlie Crist picks a bad year (and bad day) to be proud of being a former Republican

Here’s a clip of Florida’s flipflopping U.S. sentate candidate Charlie Crist telling a crowd of supporters, “I used to be a Republican….Thank God, used to be.”

Of course, the only reason Crist “used to be” a Republican is that he’s getting his ass kicked in the polls by conservative Republican Marco Rubio.

The Democrat in the race, Kendrick Meeks, is running a very distant third in the polls and Crist was hoping to get unofficial support from the Democrats.

Better go to Plan C, Charlie, because “Today White House deputy press secretary Bill Burton said that the White House ‘has fully embraced Kendrick Meek.’ Fitting that this comes on the day the President visited the city of Miami, where Meek represents the 17th district.”

In the words of the old StarKist commercials, “Sorry, Charlie.”

  • And you tell me over and over and over again, my friend,
    That you don't believe you're on the eve of destruction?

  • and we don't want the guy either. I mean, those stupid Republicans already stuck us with that other political traitor Sen. Specter, and you see how that worked out ... now our new guy has to run against Toomey (like we've got a chance now?! polls show our guy losing 45%-36%). We're onto the political trickery of the Republicans -- giving us their rejects... They can keep Crist.
