Crist echoed his 2010 general election themes in the op-ed.
“As Republicans gather in Tampa to nominate Mitt Romney, Americans can expect to hear tales of how President Obama has failed to work with their party or turn the economy around. But an element of their party has pitched so far to the extreme right on issues important to women, immigrants, seniors and students that they’ve proven incapable of governing for the people,” Crist wrote.
Crist also addressed his Obama hug in the article.
“Pundits looking to reduce something as big as a statewide election to a single photograph have blamed the result of my 2010 campaign for U.S. Senate on my greeting of President Obama,” Crist wrote. “I didn’t stand with our president because of what it could mean politically; I did it because uniting to recover from the worst financial crisis of our lifetimes was more important than party affiliation. I stood with our nation’s leader because it was right for my state.”

1. It takes more courage to stand against these people, than to go along with them

I wonder how many in the repugnant party feel this way but are too afraid to Amit it out loud. it has got to be frustrating watching your party implode from within.

2. That is called Patriotism

Elections are not sporting events as some people seem to think it is time to bring civility back

3. He was a good governor for Florida, a moderate Republican

I wish he would have won the Senate seat instead of Rubio. Look at who is Governor today, Rick Scott, a guy who became rich stealing from Medicare. When I look at him I am reminded of The Most Wanted posters.
