Florida has a “resign to run” law - meaning Crist would be forced to resign as governor the moment he accepted a VP nomination. That’s a pretty big gamble to take. I don’t think he’ll do it.

I don’t think he’ll do it.

Reports I've seen here indicate Crist is practically begging for the VP slot.

I guess that means Jeb Bush is free to take the VP spot.

Not anymore.

Florida DID have a resign-to-run law for candidates seeking office at all levels, but it was amended last year to remove the resignation requirement if the candidate is seeking office at the federal level.

This was done specifically with Crist in mind. It was passed as part of the package that moved up the primary date.

The resign to run law is exactly why I hope he does run...I voted for the idiot. I will not make the mistake again. He will not allow any power plants to be built; Florida currently enjoys some of the cheapest electricity rates in the country. In ten years, Crist’s policys will make Florida’s rates some of the highest. He is touting solar and wind generation, both of which are not feasible now on any large scale. Don’t forget Florida in one of the fastest growing states.
