01:26:46 He saved my life!
01:26:49 So now you have to pay him with it?
01:26:54 Jesus Christ, Charlie, you give me this whole song and dance…
01:26:57 …about how you’re out of that shit, but you’re not.
01:27:00 Song and dance? What does that mean, “song and dance”?

Christ almighty!

First TPID, now IPR.

If he targets spelling-impaired, seriously religious voters, he may lock up a big chunk of the vote just through name confusion alone…LOL

BTW it’s “Crist” — without the “h.” Charlie’s a pretty cool guy but he’s not quite divine.

His name is “Charles Crist”. Not Christ or Chris.

With Rubio well ahead in the GOP primary polls and the filing deadline less than two weeks away, Crist is at the “fish or cut bait” point.

Up until about now, he could continue to raise GOP money and hope for a comeback in the primary.

He’d probably have stayed GOP if he was leading, or even in a dead heat with, Rubio as the filing deadline came up.

Now the guessing game is whether he goes independent or just drops out.

My bet is that he runs as an independent — and that unless the Democrats turn out a particularly strong candidate, he wins.

Which is probably why he hasn’t jumped over to running as an independent already. He knows he would be competitive but he also knows he may lose a chunk of change doing so.
