The funny thing is that if Christ had just played it smart after losing the Florida primary, he would probably have been able to run for higher office another time (as a Republican)
and no one in Florida would know what a snake he really was.
Now he is like a political leper and leaders of both parties run screaming into the night at his approach and his primary accomplishment appears to be that he turned out to be a lunatic who is seriously in need of long term care in the nearest asylum.
I think you are right. If he had run for reelection he would have won and could have set his sights higher. Or if he had lost the primary or withdrawn he could have run against Nelson next time and probably would have had a shot there. Instead now he ends his career pretty much as a joke.
I love it that they are so afraid of Marco. Apparently they think he is a conservative 0bama!
Believe me, by what I have seen so far, you are right in your opinion here. If Crist had stayed far enough away from making a bid for the US Senate, he could have done better running for another term as Governor of Florida or another state position. As it stands, he is FINISHED and frankly, NEEDS to get his head examined.
