Florida governor to endorse McCain TRIBUNE-REVIEW

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Associated Press is reporting that Florida Gov. Charlie Crist will throw his support behind John McCain.

He joins Sen. Mel Martinez in what may prove to be the push McCain needs over Mitt Romney as the two battle it out for first place in the Sunshine State.

Getting Crist’s support was considered by all of the candidates a huge catch. Crist enjoys over a 70 percent approval rating.

Who the VP would be is really important. McCain could kick the bucket in the white house cuz he already looks unhealthy. He needs a transfusion or oxygen, not the White House.

I don’t know the rules for if candidates croak during the campaign process due to illness or injury. Guess the pubbies get to have another pick.

When they did the long camera shot from the Scarlett O’ Hara Theater in The Villages, it was pretty empty. There was a swarm around McCain but there definitely wasn’t a large crowd. There wasn’t even a medium crowd imo.

Isn't it ironic that Crist double-crossed Giuliani by not appearing at a Lincoln Dinner and went to the Lincoln Dinner where McCain was instead?

Honest Abe would be rolling over in his grave. To use the occasion of a Lincoln Dinner to be dishonest!

I agree, never liked him. Like him less now. The whispers are that “watch yer back” has a double meaning where he is concerned.

Even Better:

Crist and sMell Martinez are anti-endorcements. It confirms my opinion that McAmnesty is a RINO.
I am holding my nose and voting Romney.

Apparently "Toe-Tappin' Charlie" isn't just a stage-name - lol!

I don’t care who the invisible governor says to vote for this year. He barely shows up to job it seems. If he were one of my employees, I would have already given him the boot. One thing I liked about Governor Jeb was that you could turn on the TV and there he was, you knew he was doing his job. He should have been one of the G.O.P. candidates this election, not these no talent ass clowns running now.
