Sunshine Götterdämmerung: Crist to Announce Independent Senate Bid Today?

Posted on | April 16, 2010 | 21 Comments

Via Hot Air Headlines comes this weird story from Orlando:

Dr. Rick Foglesong is the President of the faculty at Rollins College, one of our political analysts who has time and time again predicted a run by the governor as an Independent. And now, he says he has a source inside the Crist campaign staff.
Dr. Foglesong said, “A person I know in the Charlie Crist campaign has told me Charlie Crist would veto the merit pay bill, and he did. Further, he said he would announce tomorrow, that’s Friday, that he would run as an independent.”
Fox 35’s Tracy Jacim asked, “Where is this supposed to happen?” Dr. Foglesong said, “South Florida.” Jacim asks, “Miami?” Foglesong said, “Yes.” Jacim asks, “How reliable is this source?” Foglesong replied, “I trust the source.”
Fox 35 contacted the Crist campaign staff by email and phone. They would not confirm whether or not the Governor is switching parties. The only thing they would go on the record and say is, “Whatever this story is about him flying to Miami today to announce he is switching parties is completely inaccurate.”

Which is a denial, I suppose. Given that Charlie Crist is such a two-faced liar, however, what is the denial really worth?

    So if he announces anywhere other than Miami it’s not technically a lie…

    Except insofar as every word Charlie Crist says is a lie, including “and” and “the.”

    He has said in the past that he won’t seek the Senate seat as an independent. . . So I’ll be expecting his announcement today in fact.

    So the question will remain.. When Crist drops out, who will the NRSC endorse then?

    There are only two politicians I believe when they say they won’t switch parties: Zell Miller, who never did, and John McCain, who hasn’t yet (more’s the pity).

    Charlie Crist? Who’s he?

    McGehee: John McCain hasn’t switched parties yet? You mean he’s still a Democrat?

    Imagine my surprise when Arlen Specter announced he was “becoming” a Democrat.
