I don’t know a whole lot about him, but he sounds a lot better than Sorry Charlie.
is he the one who said he could change his senate run into a run for the governorship?
Funny you should refer to Crist as Sorry Charlie. He spoke at an event here in Orange County (CA) and sounded good, until he mentioned offshore oil drilling. This was during the “drill here, drill now, pay less” time and he refused to say he’d open up Florida’s coastal waters to domestic production. He lost the crowd there and never got them back. It was a typical example of all of us getting our hopes up, only to see them dashed when his true colors came out. It truly was a sorry performance on his part.
