• Charlie Crist Overshadowed

  Charlie Crist's orange-y skin tone proves he's not someone who's afraid of the bright lights, but he completely got overshadowed at the Republican Governor's Conference. A recent Ramussen poll, taken before the conference, showed Crist coming in dead last in a completely speculative competition for the 2012 nomination, with only 1% of Republicans favoring him over any of the other listed candidates, including fellow governors or former governors like Sarah Palin, Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney,

• Charlie Crist Isn't Popular in the GOP 2012 Trailer Park

  Poor Charlie Crist. Sure, he went out of the way to let it be known he wouldn't mind being John McCain's personal vice president, but he hasn't done anything that indicates he really wants to stage his own presidential campaign in 2012. He must seem like a natural to the moderates in the party, though, as a popular governor of a crucial swing state. So his name is included on the early shortlists for whatever losing campaign the GOP mounts in 2012. Gallup polled all 32 registered Republicans

• Crist Appoints Loser Ex-Football Player To Board of Education

  Florida's education rankings continue to linger in the bottom half of the nation's states, and who does Charlie Crist appoint to the State Board of Education? Oh, a former professional football player. ex-FSU Standount and Baltimore Ravens linebacker Peter Boulware ran for a Florida House seat as a Republican and lost (hence 'loser' in the title) by 440 votes. So Charlie decides to give him a politically influenced consilation prize and appoints him to this board, which really he has no business

• Jeb Bush Nets a Whopping Six Percent in Republican Presidential Poll

  via Spalding GOP StoreJeb Bush is only 56. That's down right youthful in Republican politician terms. So much life ahead of him, that one. But what will he fill it with? That seems to be the question. He declined to run for Senate. A third-term as governor is nothing more than a fairy tale. What about those whispers that he'll run for president one day? If that's really Jeb's deepest desires he has a lot of work cut out in front of him. A recent CNN poll of Republicans suggests only 6

• Charlie Crist on CPAC's Straw Poll Ballot, Will Probably Lose Horribly

  via For Your PartyCrazy Straws, get it? The Conservative Political Action Conference is taking place in Washington, DC this week and has already been dubbed the "the comedy festival of the year!" Noted public intellectuals (and more than a few 2012 hopefuls) like Ron Paul, Michelle Bachman, Newt Gingrich, and the Anti-Crist himself, Bobby Jindal will or have addressed the conference, but the keynote speaker is sad radio clown Rush Limbaugh. Charlie Crist wisely decided to steer clear of the affa

  'Tis the season for former speakers of the state house to run to the right of front runners in Republican primaries it seems. Marco Rubio is already in an uphill battle in the senate primary against Charlie Crist, and now March on Politics reports that former speaker and state Senator Dan Webster is considering entering the governor's race. Their source says Webster is about 60% sure he'll enter the race against Attorney General Bill McCollum. Webster, a Baptist, represented a western

• Mike Huckabee Endorses Marco Rubio

    Word that this endorsement might be coming has been in the pipeline for weeks, but now it's official: Former Arkansas governor and presidential candidate and current Fox News host Mike Huckabee has endorsed Marco Rubio in the Republican primary for Senate. Huckabee's endorsement is as much a celebration of all things Rubio as it is a few jabs at Rubio's competitor, Charlie Crist, most specifically his support of President Obama's stimulus plan. Rubio supprted Huckabee in the 2008 preside

  Markos 'Kos' Moulitsas of The Daily Kos has a dream that one day Charlie Crist will do some soul searching, look deep inside himself, and finally come out ...as a Democrat. And it will all be Marco Rubio's fault. See, Marco Rubio is calling upon the dark forces of the right wing --the wingnut blogs, the garbage spewing talk radio hosts, the ideological PACs and interest groups-- to create a tsunami that will ruin Crist's good name amongst Republicans, thus causing him to lose the

• Remember When GOP Governors Were the Future of Their Party?

  The atmosphere at the Intercontinental Hotel in Downtown Miami last November during the Republican Governor's Conference was hopeful. The GOP governors where the only national wing of the party to actually gain membership in the 2008 election, and the line was it was they who would bring their party back on track, emerge as the leadership that Republicans so badly needed, and it was quite possible that one of their members would challenge Barack Obama for the presid
