Ex-GOP Fla. Gov. Crist To Run For Job As Democrat
[HOSTED.AP.ORG] Former Republican governor turned Democrat Charlie Crist
... Formerly the Republican governor of Florida, now reinvented as a Democrat party hack...
filed paperwork Friday to run for his old job with his new party, a move that will turn the race into one of the most watched in the nation.
Crist is now the front-runner to represent Democrats against Republican Gov. Rick Scott, one of the most unpopular chief executives in the country. Scott, though, will be well-financed and is expected to spend as much as $25 million in attack ads against Crist.
For Crist, he is hoping to revive a political career that seemingly crashed when he left the GOP and lost an independent run for U.S. Senate to Republican Marco Rubio in 2010.
Crist has a 10 a.m. event scheduled in a park near his St. Petersburg home to kick off his campaign.
