Charlie Crist files to run for Florida governor as Democrat

ST. PETERSBURG — Charlie Crist is running for Florida governor as a Democrat.

The worst-kept secret in politics was confirmed Friday afternoon when the Republican Party of Florida spotted Crist's official filing with the Division of Elections.

The former Republican governor-turned Democrat plans a formal announcement Monday at 10 a.m. at St. Petersburg's Albert Whitted Park, 480 Bayshore Dr. SE.

Anything's better than that disastrous ghoul Scott, even a moderate Repub-turned-Dem. Crist's name recognition should help him.

IIRC, Scott's approval ratings are very low. Florida's voters are having a lot of buyer's remorse.

Crist irritated Bush frequently as a Republican. So there's that.
