I like Charlie Crist and find him extremely relevant for the GOP to get back into their game. But what are they gonna do when it comes out that he is gay? The GOP I, and everyone else knows, would never allow him to be their standard bearer. 2012 is too soon. We need another decade or so before the GOP learns their lesson and stops being the prickish party. Right now they are the party of intolerance.

If you don't live in Florida, you DON'T know charlie. He's a REALLLLY bad choice for Senate. Dan Gelber gets my vote.

who cares what Cornyn says...??

Marco Rubio is the best candidate...

Crist got married to make it look good ???

Wow. Isn't it funny that Republicans (politicans, voters, followers) who opposed President Obama's stimulus bills (even threw tea parties opposing it) are now the ones DEFENDING Crist. I love this. Does this mean that the Republicans are able to vote for a 'socialist' who supported President Obama's so-called 'spending spree' that they allege 'will keep our children enslaved for decades.' Funny, how when their ship is sinking all of a sudden, they adore a man that voted for this 'evil bill'. Desperation, I say. But that's fine. I'll take a moderate Republican that supports our so-called 'fascist' President any day. I can't wait until we're able to throw this in the GOP's face. To vote in someone supporting the President's 'socialist' agenda means that you agree to it. I'm loving this!

To some Floridians, Charlie Crist has an attitude that will be potent in reconstructing the wicked and greed culture of Washington. If that's the case, then I, a democrat, if I were a floridian, would vote for Crist. if he'll will help Obama in not only supporting his legislature, but also reforming the flaws in it, and not using the regular traditions of the no party, then I would vote for him. However, if his political strategy is mostly pertaining to the Republican Party's harsh resentment, I would definitley not vote for him. And overall, I would like for him to say publicly, that he would never change his political affiliation, referencing to Arlen Spector (no offense).

What a shame that a state as large and populous as Texas has elected such a lackie hack to serve us in the Senate. Since his re-election, Cornyn has done nothing for Texas. He is simply too busy carrying the water for the far right in Washington to realize Texas has become a 50-50 state. His service to the neocons exemplifies his failure to stay in touch with his home state. When he meets with Texans, he talks a great game of representing the people, but actions paint a dramatically different picture. Here's to his last term of office!

And the support of the Senate Party of No members means ... what, exactly?

I am a Democrat who voted for Charlie for Governor, and will vote for him for the Senate. It would be so nice if he can take his demeanor with him to Washington and get those nasty Republicans to lighten up. He is a conservative, fine. Frankly, I don't mind conservatives who not only respect those with other opinios, abut actually try to work with them to find good solutions everyone can back . Charlie Crist is like that; I hope he stays that way!

Cornyn has spent his entire career in the US Senate supporting the disastrous policies of George W. Bush. Tax cuts for the rich, higher deficits, politicizing the Supreme Court, and lying to the American people about a war we never should have started.

Why should anyone care who he supports for anything?

Senator Cornyn did what?

I know he has not changed his strips. He is one fraction of a second below a Right Wing Repug. Did he not just say some bad things about Senator Spector? Well I guess he and some of the other Right Wingers saw the writing on the wall, that the same old tired scare tactic were not working anymore. So, he has assumed an outward moderate pose in endorsing Gov Crist.

I say to Gov Crist, don't forget what the Repugs said about you when you accepted the stimulus the President offered. Do not allow yourself to become a figure head like Rep J.C Watts of OK was.

When are Rush, Savage, Coulter, Hannity and Cheney going to throw him under the bus for being a "LIBERAL"?

Maybe they are being more cautious with their self destructive rhetoric after the Specter defection?

I like Crist, he's done a good job in Florida, stood by President Obama. He'll hopefully bring his wisdom and common sense with him to D.C., and show the rest of the boys how to play ball.

Charly Crist can only hope The Mighty Lord of the GOP Rush Limbaugh goes against him in order to win. His support will be a disaster for him. His polls are up because he is a moderate that support the common sense not the nonsense the GOP is trying to feed day and night the uneducated religious white right wing nuts that constitute their base.

I thought an endorsement by a Texas Republican was the kiss of death. I guess even Republicans do not want other Republicans to win.

Now the republicans can be hopeful with one of 33 senatorial elections coming up. Big Deal!

Crist is a social conservative! While he may have supported Obama on the stimulus bill, he is still a conservative. I suggest that Repubs who disagree check his voting record.

This is a great man and he is able to bend when he thinks it is right to do so! True the stimulus was a "major mistake" but don't cut off your nose to spite your face.

I'm glad the governor took the stimulus money and he put the people first. I wish all of the GOP would of followed his lead. I am ot a repulican put I do give him that much respect. Maybe he can change the gop nasty ways. See this is the 21st century were not in the old time days anymore its time for yall to get with the program if yall want to build this party back up. women have a right to abortion, I dont support gay marriage but if they want to get married let them, stem cells will help bring cure to sickly people, but GOP just dont get it. Yall always put wealthy first ahead of poor people and thats why we in this mess bcz of George Bush fail policies. Either get with the program GOP or keep dieing on the endangered species list! Get it?wake up and smell the coffee.

The Republicans have turned Florida into a dump that I am glad to have left. I hope that in the General election Crist gets beat

I have on question , Why is it that republicans think that conservatism is the only way to prosper ,their stuck on this same old mantra lowerr taxes and, less government , if I'm not mistaken ,these ,principles haven't been working well , this is partly what got us in this mess , it seems as if it's a smoke and mirrors game , because they say one thing but when they were in power they did the complete opposite , so I tell Americans don't be fooled by that same ole tired line of small government because the last time we bought that line there was a covert plan of not disclosing where our monies are being spent and who was benefiting from their smaller government.

Way to go Cornyn you just lost the man the race....!!! Did you do this for self gain...and with whom....Hillary Clinton/Al Gore/Bill Clinton??? Delbert McDougal??????????????

Republicans can't lose another Republican to the Democrats and of course they are going to endorse Crist knowing they disapproved of Crist supporting Obama's stimulous.

Crist Please Stay MODERATE Dont let the Evil Posion of Limbaugh and Cheney get to you they will destroy you!

any where the GOP gets excited there is a money making opportunity to line their pockets with

Let's see who Rush endorses. Crist is moderate and therefore may face opposition from the right.

if cornyn is for him, i am against him. cornyn is a disgrace to texas and should be tarred and feathered and rode out of the state on a rail.

lol... I don't think I'd want any of THOSE guys endorsing me.

Oh good! So we will have another closeted Republican homosexual senator who votes against all gay rights in an attempt to hide his sexuality!

Endorsing a pro-stimulus moderate, eh? Better watch out. That's political suicide for Republicans these days.

YOU elect Crist to Senate you just make it harder to get health care for yourself.. if you are one of the fifty MIllion people who are sitting at home without health care... Nice feeling to have NO health insurance?.. Well continue elecnting Republicans and they will block it for another Hundred years.. They like small government to fight the WARS and small government to help you out.. yet they like government help for the bankers and their friends... right?i

Line those republicans up....don't they ALL look like a bunch of stuffed shirts. Heck no wonder they don't know what is going on in this country. They are so darn out of touch with regular people , they seem to belong to another country.

Watch your butt chris rush is watching, and as you know he is the leader of the gop,,,

Crist always checks to see which way the polical winds are blowing. He is a typical politican that tells people what they want to hear. I live in Florida and will not vote for him – he is an O supporter.

Oh boy a new GOP hero to blather over. Just the fact that the GOP is firmly behind him , makes me suspect that he is guilty of some wrong doing, crazy, a pederast, etc. It seems that whenever they fall in line behind someone there's always some wrongdoing in the past. See: McCain, Palin, Hastert, Delay, Lott, Frist, Santorum,Gingrich, Taft, Noe, etc. etc.

After what Gov. Crist did with the stimulus money in Stuart, Fl., he should be running for something else. Like to the Brain Institute, where it shows a person uses common sense, investigates the situation, and then, maybe, releases the money. But being a Republican, what the heck, I'll spend some money!!!!!!!!!!! Like I said in my email to the Gov. earlier, when I vote, lets hope there's a janitor, cook, teacher, or even a dog catcher running also. Because I and many others will vote for the person who knows about life. Not MONEY.

Doesn't the volatile GOP base consider Crist a RINO? I don't think they'd approve of Cornyn's endorsement.

Ain't this some BS MESS.

These SAME Republican BIGOTS crucified Arlene Spector for voting in favor of President Obama's Stimulus Plan and HERE these Republican HYPOCRITES are praising Gov. Crist who voted in FAVOR of the Stimulus money for Senate!! What kind of "fragel-nagel BULL" is this?

CAN WE SAY HYPOCRISY AT IT'S BEST?

This is why Republicans are so irrelevant, they contradict themselves EVERY step of the way. They can't decide WHO they are or WHAT they stand for at any given time. A Republican is like a black jack dealer, you NEVER know what hand they are going to deal, they don't even know themselves. Unbelievable.

Republicans endorsing Charlie Crist should be careful. Limbaugh is taking notes. Charlie Crist actually can think for himself and actually makes a real effort to be bipartisan. He's just the kind of Republican that Limbaugh and Cheney want out of the party. Be careful of guilt by association.

Crist would be great in the Senate. Let's all hope he wins the election.

As a liberal Democrat, I have to say that having Crist in the US Senate, albeit not my first choice, would not be especially frightening. However, I don't think that a statement from someone as polarizing and partisan as Cornyn does Crist any good in reaching out to moderate voters in Floruida who are absolutely essential for a win there.

Cris is cute as a button, and he is one heck of a decent man. We endorse him too. May this nice guy win!

The National Republican Senatorial Committee is just blowing sunshine up Charlie's butt so he won't leave the party.

Great! He will do a great job in the senate.
