Another Repug that needs to be beat....They are coming out from under every rock.

A moderate pro-choice republican getting thru a republican primary?

Sorry, Crist, you dead before you get out of the gate!

This is one republican I will vote for, he not as crazy as the others.

The Republicans will find a way to knock him out, too. He is too open to new ideas and solutions to problems.

Good, we need to inject some intelligence into Washington!!!

Chris should take a look at what happened to Spector and Powell before he makes the leap to the Senate. He's not a platform Republican so he could have problems. Issues like extending voting hours in Florida and restoring voting rights to criminals who served their time is much to sensible to make it in the Republican party.

Great move. He has more experience than Obama for any position.

Ugh, as a liberal Floridian, I actually like Crist as governor and would rather see him run for a second term. And I'm not sure this is the right move for him in terms of potentially becoming President. Most presidents come from gubernatorial positions, not senatorial positions. Granted, assuming Crist wins the seat (which he will), he would then have experience in both roles, but I think 8 years as governor would be more valuable experience as well as higher profile.

However, perhaps he doesn't have Presidential aspirations, meaning this would be a good move for him b/c he could be in Senate forever. Considering the rampant speculation that Crist is gay and his new wife a beard, he may have a difficult time ever securing a GOP presidental nomination bid.

Well, good luck Crist. Maybe Florida will elect a Dem as governor this time. I wouldn't complain about that.

Dutch,

No governor voted on the stimulus bill. You have to be in the house or the senate.

Great. Just what anti-Socialists need. Another GOPer who will compromise with the Socialists.

The only difference between the Socialists running this country now, and the conservatives of today is the speed with which unlimited government is thrust upon the people.

Guard your liberties, for the government shall take them.

Charlie Crist has made Jeb Bush look much worse. Crist is one of the most open-minded Republicans which means he will soon be attacked by Limbaugh for being able to think on his own.

Since he was not automatically opposed to the stimulus plan, thereby actually thinking for himself, fat boy and the rest will vilify him and try to find another candidate (who would more likely lose the election) who parrots the Uber-right's propaganda from the der Feurher Rush

Not a bad candidate for the Republicans… that is if the Republican party will embrace him to run on their ticket. He has voted with Obama an has shown he would be able to work with a Democratic majority to get Floridians what they need. He should come out of the closet though. Floridias have known for years and it would be a shame if his campaign was torpedoed by an outing mid-campaign.

huh? you mean Cheney and Limbaugh haven't kicked him out of the party yet for being a *gasp!* moderate?????

I like Crist but I wish he would remain Governor, however considering the Republican choices he's definitely a much better candidate than Rubio.

It seems like he could have a good chance to be a US Senator.

Good, we need more Republican Senators.

I appreciate you voting for the stimulus bill Charlie. You seriously need to consider switching parties. I would hate to see one of the few republicans that I do respect get thrown under the bus by his own party. Good luck. But that depends on who the democrat contender is.

I think he should Stay a Govenor!

THis is a political move as Crist is being promoted for a run for the presidency. Sorry Crist, your still a republican and you guys have ruined this country enough to last a few life times.

ooooohh, this is bogus although i like him, he'd d better as a governor not a senator.
