Unto Death Do Us Part

Former RPOF Chairman, Jim Greer’s political career may be over, but his loyalty to Crist runs deep. He supported him for Governor, and he supports him in his campaign for US Senate.

It is strange considering, he is losing support from the party at an alarming rate. Greer’s support is eerily similar to that of a spouse. If I didn’t know better, I would have thought they were married. Here is what he said:

“Charlie Crist has always put the people first before partisan politics and that has always upset those who put partisan politics before the people. If putting the people first once again requires him to run as an independent he should do it!’”

But Greer has his own problems. He and his personal assistant, Delmar Johnson are currently under investigation for misappropriation of party funds. The matter is being investigated by Attorney General Bill McCollum.

Politics sure does make strange bedfellows. Just don’t tell Crist’s wife.

Crist Weighs Options

In recent days it has come to light that Crist is weighing his options in the race for US Senate. With Rubio’s commanding lead in the polls, and his loss of Republican support, Crist’s dream of being president is slowly slipping away.

Last year, Crist lobbied to get on the McCain ticket, but he was passed over for Sarah Palin. He opted not to run again for Governor. So, if he loses this his political career, and his chances of president die with him. He has a lot at stake in this election.

Speculation is high among reliable sources that Crist will abandon the Republican Party and run as an Independent. Fox 35 Orlando reported last night, that Crist is closer to making a decision on the matter.
