Not only did he back Obama, he backed Nelson, and he's now getting speaking spot at the DNC.

Can we say political opportunist? Whatever the way the wind blows, suddenly he's backing every democrat and jumping through every Democrat hoop he can find. My guess is the Dems are happy, but I don't know why. People really don't like this kind of pandering - that's one of the reasons Crist lost so handily to both Republicans AND Democrats this last election.

Guess he's tired of just being a lawyer.

Perhaps this is to mirror Artur Davis, former Democrat, speaking at the RNC?

Charlie should ask Arlen Specter how well the Dems treat former GOP pols once they’ve delivered. Based on history, this will be Charlie’s last hurrah.

He was easily bought for pennies on the dollar.

Most people learn the falacy and error of socialism as they mature. Poor Crist has regressed and now is the picture of a fool. No foundation, no character, no convictions, he comes into whatever pool of idiocy he can to find a place at the table. Now he is sitting with pigs.

-—TRAITOR-—

Charlie is not a traitor, he is a double agent picking what he perceives as the winning side...

He just took off his RINO costume and has exposed himself as what he really is...

A craven power hungry feckless politician

He realizes that he has no future in Republican politics after running as an Independent against Rubio, and so he’s now trying to make a new career in Rat politics by publicly kissing Obama’s arse.

That’s okay, I will gladly trade his speech for Artur Davis...former Co-Chair of the DNC and guy who seconded Obama’s nomination in 2008 speech at the Republican convention. Crist was always a traitor...
