Here is news on Charlie Crist. It is blossoming nationally. Hmmmm.

...........................

ST. PETERSBURG - Gov. Charlie Crist is declining to take a DNA test to settle a question that has nagged him for years: Did he have a one-night stand 17 years ago and father a daughter?

For months, the girl's adoptive parents have tried to reach the governor for ''some kind of closure'' on the matter. Though rebuffed by Crist, they won't ask the governor to get a DNA test.

Gov. Crist refuses paternity test; family not asking... The governor continued to face questions in a paternity dispute as the child's family came forward.

The first victim is the child. If Crist is indeed the father, he is bringing pain to his daughter with his rejection and his cheap denials ("it's nothing but politics"). Even if he is not the father, he could find a far more graceful way to say so; and, of course, he could prove it with the DNA test.
