It was just a matter of time. Charlie Crist is becoming a Democrat.
Crist — Florida's former Republican governor who relished the tough-on-crime nickname "Chain Gang Charlie" and used to describe himself variously as a "Ronald Reagan Republican" and a "Jeb Bush Republican" — on Friday evening signed papers changing his party from independent to Democrat.

To me, this is surprising, as I felt Crist could have won as an Independent. So, IMHO, this move smacks of political whoredom. But, let's face it, aren't they ALL whores, when it comes right down to it? :mrgreen:

It's terribly hard to win without the two party infrastructure there for you to stand on. There is so much less work for you to do when you run as a Repub or Dem.
 
Next stop ... to come out as gay!

"political whoredom|?Maybe.But if he runs against the current gov,in a non suppressed election its lights out for Gov Rick Scott.
 
He seems like he only cares about getting elected and having power, not about his beliefs and convictions. Such people in my opinion are dangerous politicians.
 
I've felt like this was coming for awhile. He probably stands a decent chance against governor Scott though.

I disagree. Someone describing themselves as a "Ronald Reagan Republican" would fit in better with the Democrats today than Republicans.
