Come out of the closet, Charlie!

Marco Rubio capitalizes on a photo of Charlie Crist hugging Barack Obama.
BY CARLOS MILLER
Marco Rubio has less political experience than Charlie Crist. And he hasn’t raised nearly as much money in his run against the governor for U.S. Senate. And he still lags behind the governor in polls leading up the November race.
But he hasn’t hugged Barack Obama.
And that just may be his ace in the hole.
The former republican House Speaker has seized on a February photo that shows Crist hugging Obama as to why he is the better candidate.
And it appears to be working because he has recently swept 12 republican straw polls, tripled his fundraising and cut the governor’s lead in the polls by half.
Now the question remains: Will the hug go down as The Hug? As it did for John McCain when he hugged George W. Bush during the 2004 presidential election, which is described as the “defining moment” of McCain’s career?
Only time will tell but one thing is certain. Rubio is not the only republican who believes Crist is a closet liberal. The hug only seemed to cement that sentiment.

Come out of the closet, Charlie!
I did not like Crist before the hug.
Which closet?
It wasn’t really the hug thats important to me. It was the way he wet himself over the federal money.
Florida is one of the hardest hit states in this recession, yet is dead last in getting stimulus money. Good going, Crist.
Crist lost me when he stiffed W for McCain when campaigning for governor.
Crist is floodign the airways with commercial extolling his small government views, and his #1 rating by the Cato institute..however, he has yet to explain, let alone justify, his vote for Porkulus...that, IMHO, will the the club that Marco beats him over the head with..
I won’t out you if you don’t out me!
Defeat the Orange Menace !
Christ is a typical RINO. He would immediately become part of the Snowe/Collins/McCain/Voinovich/Grahamnesty SELL-OUT team if elected. This we DON’T need.

We are so proud here in SW Florida - this is where “The Hug” occurred . . . the home of Henrietta Hughes & Julio from McDonalds. (ugh)
After the humiliation of that lovefest visit, it would be so awesome if this hug would be what propels Rubio to defeat Crist.
Some things do come back to haunt ya - hope this happens to Crist!

Crist stiffed W? Hmmmm....
Don’t forget Charlie’s support for globull warming.
Two toe tappers.
"The president of the United States"???
Cristi has NO respect, we have challenged him and Kurt Browning by NOT vetting the illegal alien and usurper in the White House, and they both are mum on this issue. Rinos and rats embraces one another!!!
