National leaders of the Republican Party are working to try to persuade Republican Florida Governor Charlie Crist not to run for U.S. Senate this year, according to this New York Times story of April 19.
National Republican Party officials don’t want him to run as an independent, nor do they seem to want him to run in this year’s Republican primary. They suggest that he should run the other U.S. Senate seat when it is up in 2012.
Not that I agree with Crist on anything, but he could win as an Independent. If he gets out there and says he is going to run for benefit of Floridians, not for what the GOP wants, he could win. It would be nice to have another Independent in the Senate.
Oh like that wonderful *sarcasm* Joe Lieberman ………
If elected, I’d hope that he would refer to himself as an “Independent Conservative” rather than and “Independent Republican”. We don’t need another Lieberman…
