Political perennial Charlie Crist is at it again. He announced Tuesday that he will run for the Florida congressional seat now held by Republican David Jolly, who will run for the U.S. Senate seat Marco Rubio is relinquishing to run for president.
For those who’ve lost track, which would be easy to do, Crist is seeking the Florida 13 seat as a Democrat. This is Crist’s latest, though perhaps not his final, party affiliation in a career in which he has the distinction of having lost statewide elections as a Republican (U.S. Senate 1998), an independent (U.S. Senate 2010), and as a Democrat (Florida governorship 2014). Searching for something positive to say about Florida’s political chameleon, I can do no better than to say that Crist is not easily discouraged.
It doesn’t matter much which party label, or absence of label, Crist hangs on himself. He has an unbroken record of no achievement in any of the state and local political offices he has held since first being elected to the Florida Senate from a St. Petersburg district in 1992 (a complete list of these offices supplied on request).
Crist changes his positions on the major issues of the day as often as he changes his suits, but then never follows up on any of them. He’s too busy seeking the next office. When Crist was Florida’s governor (at least on paper) from 2007 to 2011, there were more sightings of Elvis in Tallahassee than there were of Crist at work in the governor’s office. He keeps hours bankers would envy. Most of his energy for the first half of his term as governor was spent on the delusion that he would be on the national Republican ticket in 2008 as vice president (I’m not making this up)

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) 2024
Former Republican Gov. Charlie Crist will once again try to revive his tattered
political career as a Democrat, with an announcement that he will run for Third
Assistant Dog Catcher in St. Petersburg after losing his last three state wide
elections, the last two county wide elections and four attempts at city elections.
Well, ya gotta look at it this way, he will create a lot of jobs with his staff(although temporary) and look at the advertising and media jobs from his advertising money.
As to him winning anything? Sorry Charlie.
Needs to find a predominantly queer district to run in...his only chance to win.
Lord I hope he brings the fan.
Turncoat Charlie. What a dud. He must not be very happy working for Morgan and Morgan (for the people). Snort!
Maybe he should run for Mayor of Mexico City.
