Charlie Crist is toast

Ed Morrissey at Hot Air asks if Governor Crist even wants to be Senator.

Sometimes one has to wonder whether Charlie Crist really wants to win his primary battle against Marco Rubio for the Republican nomination to contest Florida’s open Senate seat. When Rubio endorsed the conservative and mainstream national GOP position that the US Census should count only legal residents and citizens, Crist decided to differentiate himself by supporting the count of illegal immigrants — as a means to get more pork from Washington:

Well, Governor Crist is definitely not getting the point is he? Americans, more specifically Floridians in this case DO NOT want more pork, they are sick of pork, and high taxes, and political whores like Charlie Crist who will sell out their state for more government pork.

Crist once seemed a shoe in, and Rubio a long shot. The NRSC certainly thought so when they prematurely endorsed Crist as the only Republican that could win.

Times change don't they? Sorry Charlie, but Marco Rubio is what Republicans want as a Senator.
