Charlie Crist Positions Himself For VP

By Jennn Fusion | Related entries in Veep

Floridians aren’t so happy with Empty Chair Charlie these days. Asking around, I hear one sentiment commonly echoed: “Well, he’s broken a lot of his campaign promises…”.

The latest is his push for offshore drilling, which some say is a broken promise, but others say is a tactical move. Just one month ago, Crist announced his support for McCain’s offshore drilling proposal, despite his prior emphasis on environmental issues.

Additionally, Charlie Crist put rumors about his sexuality to rest on July 3rd, when he proposed to his girlfriend Carol Rome! Reporters from the Orlando Sentinel suggest it’s a convenient reminder that Crist is still very much “in this to win,” even though he’s been labeled a “second tier candidate” by Politico.

Florida Senator Mel Martinez refused to comment on whether or not he’d met with McCain’s Veep Vetting team. “I’m not going to talk about that,” he dismissed mysteriously.

I don’t think getting married is going to stop those rumors.

@Rob
Particularly if Andrew Sullivan is actively promoting those rumors.
