Charlie Crist
I mentioned below that I had been in training on Friday. During the drive back from Tampa, the 2 staff member I was traveling with asked: did I think Charlie Crist was a handsome man. I quickly replied, somewhat sarcastically, that "yes, he's handsome. Maybe too handsome."
It was a throwaway line that meant nothing. That's when both young ladies said they had been discussing whether Crist was gay. He's 50 and never been married you see and looks very trim and dapper. That's when it hit me. I had never thought about it.
I know Tom Gallagher is married. Hell, that's all over his campaign ads. But I'd never really thought about Crist except to think that he'd be a good governor. Frankly, so would Gallagher, even with his flaws. (Side note: Florida has a very strong Republican bench, which is what baffles me about our Senate race.)
And it's not whether Crist is gay or straight. It's that it never crossed my mind. And even if it were true, it would have no impact on my vote. Apparently that's true of most Republican voters since Charlie is well ahead in the polls. That's a good thing, right?
Well, a article in Sunday's Star Banner wants to make sure that everyone knows Crist isn't married and never has been.
Checkout the headline: "SWM, rich, drives Jag, looking for governorship. Opponents question Crist's life experience"
Single with no children at the age of 50, he is a renter who has never had to pay a home mortgage or property insurance. His work experience is largely limited to government. He drives a Jaguar but has few investments.
**********************
Democrats are already teeing off on the topic, tying Crist's personal history to remote issues such as this week's news report that Crist was unaware of the dates and scoring of the FCAT.
Get that..."Democrats are already..."
Here's what will happen. On September 5th, Republicans will vote for whom they believe is the better man for governor. After September 5th, if Charlie Crist is the nominee, Democrats will be questioning his personal life and whether his private life should disqualify him for the job. (And you can be sure the Democrats will more than hint that maybe he's gay.) From the party that re-elected Bill Clinton...and elected Hillary...that's sadly funny.

Are you kidding? The Dems questioning Crist's sexuality would obviously alienate the Gay community, which aside from the Log Cabin Republicans, are one of the most consistently Democratic-voting groups in America.
