Suddenly, skies are cloudy for Charlie Crist
Miami Herald ^ | 11/6/09 | Beth Reinhard

The press release from the Florida Democratic Party called Thursday ``Charlie Crist's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.''

The description also applied to Wednesday. And Tuesday. And Monday. And to the week before that. And to the entire month of October.

Let's be clear: The governor/would-be U.S. senator from Florida known for his groundbreaking fundraising is stuck in a record-shattering slump.

The only way things could get worse is if Gennifer Flowers, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and the guy who videotaped former Virginia Sen. George Allen making an ethnic slur all showed up at his doorstep in Tallahassee.

It's hard to feel sorry for someone who has all of the powers of incumbency, a small fortune in campaign donations and a double-digit lead in the polls over his Senate rival, former House Speaker Marco Rubio of Miami. Especially when so many of Crist's problems are of his own making.

Like the other night on CNN, when he made the astounding claim that he didn't ``endorse'' President Barack Obama's economic stimulus package. Or a couple of weeks ago when he told reporters that he didn't know Obama was visiting his own state. At this point, the only way for Crist to truly distance himself from the president would be to shout ``You lie!'' at the next Rose Garden ceremony. Or to join the ``birther'' movement and publicly question the president's American citizenship.

His dreams of toe tapping with Lindsay Graham in the Senate bathroom look less and less attainable every day. Tis a shame...

Charlie Crist, then and now

“In an interview assessing his first year as governor, Crist offered the bland response ‘sure’ when asked if he considered himself a ‘conservative Republican.’ Asked what being ‘conservative’ meant to him, he grew vague.  ‘I don't know,’ he said. ‘It doesn't really matter to me. ...
