"Personally, I want Crist to come in a distant second"

Third! The Florida voters must tell Crist that his brand is ruined, to take what little game he's got left out of public service forever.

If Meeks beats him, Crist will never run so much as even state-wide again because he'll never be able to convince top-flight campaign people to sign up. That's how it works.

That's beyond silly. It's unlikely Crist will run for anything again after he loses, either way. And if he does, it would only be after considerable private polling shows he has a real shot, regardless of whether he comes in 2nd or 3rd in this race.

But it is far more useful broadly and in the long term to send the message that the Democrat brand is ruined.
