A Democrat once joked that Charlie Crist was the only politician he knew who could take a principaled stand on both sides of the same issue.
He did it with abortion. He did it with Terri Schiavo. And he did it with civil unions.
Some Republicans had their own joke about Charlie.
The joke went: Spend five minutes with Charlie Crist and you will be convinced that he will make a great governor. Spend a half an hour with him and you will be ready to vote for anyone else.

Instead of cutting spending, cleaning up lobbying rules, reforming immigration laws, or balancing the budget, GOP leaders catered to the fringe on wedge issues such as the anti-marriage amendment and the Terri Schiavo case," said Sammon.
