CLEARWATER, Florida -- Well OK, you can come home gain. But they don't have to vote for you when you do. Moderate Florida Governor Charlie Crist learned this Monday night.
Save for his time in public office in Tallahassee, Crist has lived most of his life in St. Petersburg, the largest city in Pinellas County. He represented Pinellas in the Florida Senate for six years in the nineties. But in a straw vote Monday night, members of the Pinellas County Republican Executive Committee decided by a vote of 106 to 54 that they would rather conservative former Florida House Speaker Marco Rubio run for a U.S. Senate seat from Florida than their own Charlie.
In the straw vote, former New Hampshire Senator Bob Smith got 7 votes and two other candidates, who even political junkies have never heard of, got a vote apiece. So Crist managed to get slightly less than a third of the votes in his own county.

Oh man....this is so embarassing to Crist and the Liberal RINO GOP....Crist gets blown out in his own county...OUCH
Crist may drop below Bob Smith (the other GOP candidate) pretty soon....
I hope so. I like Bob Smith
Charlie slinks off to a tanning bed. WTF is with his constant tan. The only people in FL who look like that are lawn men & roofers plus idiots who sit in the sun at the beach all day.
Crist is just a weirdo. WTF is with that? Is it some g*y vainty thing?
From what I understand of Crist’s genetic heritage, his father was of Greek nationality.
Some of that Mediterranean swarthy complexion must have carried-over.
Who is tha gal next to the white hair???
“Who is tha gal next to the white hair???”
She is Alex Sink, CFO of Florida.
Go Marco!!!!
