Uh, mkay, just a quick reality check. Charlie Crist is a liberal, always has been, down here in Florida. He's a closeted gay with no particular principles other than winning elections.
He joined the GOP in order to ride the Jeb Bush wave into the state house. He broke from the GOP in order to run as an independent against our current governor who had beat him in the primaries. Now he completes the move to the Democrat party.
If you believe that this portends anything at all, larger than Charlie Crist's personal ambitions, you demonstrate that you know nothing at all of national politics or Charlie Crist.
Free clue for you. The GOP isn't failing due to Obama winning a narrow victory, as evidenced by retention of the House, and an increase in GOP governors nationwide.
