Win-win for the GOP. If Crist doesn’t veto, then it gets passed and the teachers’ union is diminished. If he does, then he’s finished in Republican politics forever.
Plus, the spectacle of teachers striking is never good for them.
I disagree. This veto may jump start his faltering campaign and he may well draw the Dems and independents over to him. OR if what you say is correct, he may pull a Lieberman and run as an independent and that may well give him the seat. Charlie is a flip flopper and a RINO, but he has been VERY VERY good to gun owners since he's been the governor. I wouldn't be very uncomfortable with him in the Senate. Remember something else, there are a whole lot of good Republican Teachers whom this bill will hurt. That might make the difference in a close primary with Rubio.
