After losing ground to his Republican opponent in the Republican primary, Florida governor Charlie Crist announced yesterday that he would be running for the U.S. Senate as an independent. What do you think?

“That would almost certainly give Bernie Sanders, Joe Lieberman, and Charlie Crist the most powerful three-man caucus in the Senate."”

“He'll just go crawling back to the Republican party once he starts losing in the independent primary." ”

“How could he abandon his party like that? Just because they turned their backs on him to act insane? That's no reason."”
