The buzz: Is Charlie Crist finished in politics?
Sun Sentinel ^ | 11/5/2014 | By Gary Stein

It is time for Charlie Crist to realize the simple truth:

He doesn’t inspire people to come out and vote.

Yes, he was once a popular governor of Florida. But times change, Crist changes, and the electorate changes.

And it is time for him to realize his political career, at least as an elected official, really doesn’t have much future.

He lost four years ago when he left the Republican Party and became an independent to run for U.S. Senate. Marco Rubio left him in his dust.

Tuesday night, against a vulnerable Gov. Rick Scott who not long ago was named the most unpopular governor in America, Crist had a chance to win back the state. He couldn’t do it.

Yes, you can blame South Florida Democrats, particularly those in Broward, for not getting out to vote. In an election this close, every vote was important.

You can blame Mitch Ceaser, head of the Broward Democratic Party, for not getting out more of the vote.

You can blame Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, for not getting out more Democrats, particularly nationally.

But the fact is, Crist has lost the ability to inspire.

I haven’t seen much of Scott in 4 years. That’s good......................

And that’s typical for Florida governors who don’t have much to do. A notable exception was Bob Graham who had his work days. He would take an ordinary job for a day every month or so.
