Charlie Crist, the former Republican governor of Florida who recently became a Democrat, announced his support for gay marriage on Wednesday evening by way of his Facebook page:

Some great news: On Tuesday, Delaware became the 11th state to allow marriage equality. And just a few days ago, Rhode Island adopted a similar measure, which followed victories last fall in Maine, Maryland and Washington. I most certainly support marriage equality in Florida and look forward to the day it happens here.

Back in December, Crist said he regretted having signed a petition calling for a gay marriage ban in the Florida state constitution.

Crist is considering a challenge to Florida's current Republican Governor Rick Scott in 2014.

1. Which of the various Charlie Parties is Crist a member of this week?

He is such a hypocrite it is very hard to not puke when he says shit like this. Politicians are without scruples. I know DU supports Crist as Third Party over actual Democrats, is Charlie an 'independent' or a Republican like he was when he was in office?

back into elected office.
