The Agony of Crist

Yep, a Shakespearean tragedy. :lol:


"The Crist story contains many lessons, but one is that the price of leaving your political party can be a radical form of political isolation. “It’s an incredibly sad story—it’s Shakespearean,” Stuart Stevens, the prominent Republican media consultant who worked on every one of Crist’s four statewide campaigns, told me. After his failed Senate run, the former governor should have had his pick of jobs, whether moving to Washington for a cushy lobbying gig or a term at the RNC, or setting up shop at a white-shoe Florida law firm from which he could mount his next electoral bid.

I liked Crist as Governor and I am sure Floridians are missing him what with the nutjob they elected...

Rubio, the man who beat Crist, is being looked at as VP for whoever the GOP picks.

Personally I doubt it, he would outshine most of the current Republican choices. Nominees like to choose a VP for comic effect, like Quayle, Gore, & Biden.


Palin? Cheney?
