In reply to the discussion: in Crist I trust! And now I don't gotta make excuses. Charlie Crist is now a democrat!!! [View all]Bluenorthwest
(45,319 posts)39. He did a great job hiding it! I mean, he said Sarah Palin was more qualified to be
President than Barack Obama. He said that in 2008. Yet you claim Democrats should have been supporting him since 2004? Did you agree with him about Palin's relative qualifications for President, did you join Charlie and Sarah chating 'Drill Here, Drill Now' on stages in Florida?
Just wondering about the metrics and details. How, in 08, could a Democrat support a man who said Palin was more qualified than Obama?
