HE IS GAY, and now we can add LIAR to the list. There is no way that this is going to fool anybody. Charlie, you need to be honest with yourself. What a shame to be a gay & Republican.

Just nine months..........................................He's a quick learner, I guess! or he's a good judge of "moral nature and strength". If not, he wouldn't be the first , that chosed to quickly...........................Right?

this seems so staged...Younger woman, with kids...at this time...hmmmm..I think everyone can see right through this...Single man as VP...won't work...

Another Republicans = More divorces

If their vows don't mean anything why would their commitment to their country?

Can't you Obamabots just congratulate the man and be done with it? I've never seen so much hate. I read Obama's interview in Rolling Stone this week and he seems like he's got some great ideas. Too bad his supporters are so immature and spiteful. In good conscience, I can not be party to that. I will be voting for Nader, a man who has shown his ability to lead a real "movement".

Crist just needs to come out of the closet, what a shame we live in a coutry where your sexuality defines who you are as a politician, I actually read this article feeling very sorry for him and her.

Someone needs to lay of the insta-tan.

See I'm not gay. Now can I be McCain's VP? Heee, Heeee.

It is not a rumor. Charlie Christ is gay. He is shooting for the VP slot and he found a recent divorcee' who wants to be taken care of to stand in place of his closet boyfriend. I think it is ridiculous.

If he's gay he might be a good choice for Obama, then we could really have an inclusive ticket.

he's gay,and she's a prop.

Crist is rumored to be on my shortlist of the last closeted gay guys in American politics. Way to go, Crist... get engaged to one of your hags to climb the political ladder. What a joke he is, and an awful representative for gay Americans... we don't want you!

I see his working hard for that VP slot.

Maybe he's just in love, guys?

He should stay out of the sun..he is starting to look like George Hamilton!He should be more careful as his soon to be running mate does have skin cancer....
My prediction is Crist will be McCain's VP.. McCain wants Florida and he knows he needs Crist to deliver that.

CONGRATS MR.CRIST

Bad news for McCain if he choses Crist. It is obvious that Crist is doing this for political reasons. He also changed his stance on off-shore drilling to line up with McCain's stance. He is not a leader. He does what they tell him to do.

Since American voters tend to measure candidates by way of their spouses, it sounds more like a political move to put himself in a better position as VP for the Republican party 'just in time.'
It's unfortunate that politicians can't have a normal life, because every little behavioral move makes it look like it has been carefully crafted and calculated.

Ummm, something to make you think about! Hope Crist doesn't make it to become VP. He really doesn't want any ugliness or closet issues to come out about past and future wifes. Maybe he should just cool it.

So she has 2 younger children so standing next to him he will look younger and promote the perfect family image...so what's the plan to make McCain look younger

McCain/Crist – 2008

"We have trophy wives and little else!"

Crist is rumored to be on John McCain’s shortlist for the vice presidential nomination ......Marry for love not FAME (VP)......... YOU
GUYS have one thing in COMMON (SHORT LIVED MARRIAGES........
Crist was married once before for less than a year but got divorced in 1980. Rome is recently divorced and has two children, 9 and 11.
GOOD LUCK!!!

So he really wants to be on that Republican ticket. Maybe they can marry just before the convention begins- Pre- Convention Event.

I just do not think Governor Crist would be for ALL the people after the mess he signed into being regarding the Flordia Demcratic Primary- he was as bold or bolder than Limbaugh. Then when he looked as a major player on Mc Cain's ticket he wanted the DNC to count all the votes- some people did not vote when they realized their votes were restricted to The Will Not Count Column.
Congradulations to him and Best Wishes to her.

Engaged for the fith time. Third time after his divorce, twice to the same lady. So, if not chosen as the VP will there be a wedding?

Congratulations are in order? Single for 30 years and then the right one shows up just in time for the Republican convention. Wonder if Crist ends up not on the ticket will the nuptials occur? This should squash all those rumors about his sexual orientation though.

To a woman, I see. That's good to hear.

Of course he did, He wants the VP spot. What a idiot.

Congratulation ......You r a good governor of FLORIDA.

Be happy ,healthy and enjoy ur life .Best of luck.

CNN) – Florida governor and possible Republican vice presidential candidate Charlie Crist announced Thursday that he is engaged to Carole Rome, his girlfriend of nine months........BECUZ .....Crist is rumored to be on John McCain’s shortlist .........Marriage is BIG DEAL
Marry for LOVE NOT FAME.......IT WILL NOT WORK..... girlfriend of nine months? GET to KNOW HER take your Time ........ married once before for less than a year but got divorced in 1980. McShame is not worth it.......besides he may choose someone else for VP.... and then WHAT?

poor guy, why not remain a clauseted man instead of marrying the first woman you can grap for political reasons.

Typical republican, married, divorce, married, divorce. Just like McCain.

Maybe he should take a little more time getting to know someone before he runs down the aisle...could be a reason why his last marriage was so short...
