In case you haven't heard, Florida Governor Charlie Crist left the Republican party yesterday, as the filing deadline for the November elections is today. Crist is running for US Senate, but Marco Rubio in 6 months from out of nowhere went from nobody to front runner. Crist now knows that he would lose in the Republican primary, and it's starting to look like he'll be losing his Governorship, too.
I never really liked Crist. He's never brandished a conservative record on anything. I'll be more than happy to not have him governing or representing me or my state in the future. He seems to think that even though could beat a Democrat as a Republican, he can beat both as an Independent. While this switch may portend his exit from Florida politics, it may also hurt the conservative landslide that we're hoping for. How can you claim to be principled and conservative while making a move like this? Far from being courageous or "for the people," Charlie Crist is now the epitome of cowardice and self-interest.
Thus, Crist is just like every politician that We The People are upset with, and I hope that becomes his Achilles heel. His switch is a last-ditch effort to hold onto power, and it may end up hurting the very people that put him in office. It is self-serving egomaniacs like Crist that need to get the big pink slip in November.
