Oh No, Not Again. Could Charlie Crist run again?

From the Crowley Political Report is this post titled, "Charlie Crist Gets Serious About Florida Senate Race". Here is an excerpt:

     Charlie Crist adviser Kevin Cate is telling CNN that Crist is "being encouraged to seriously consider bringing the people's voice to the U.S. Senate."
     Cate's statement is being seen as Crist's first attempt to go public with the notion that he would be a Democratic candidate in 2016.
     Crist lost a 1998 Senate bid as a Republican running against Democratic incumbent Bob Graham. He lost again in 2010 against Marco Rubio who all but booted Crist from the Republican Party and forced Crist to run as an independent. Last year, the newly converted Democrat lost a close race for governor to Republican incumbent Rick Scott.

On the same topic, from a piece in The Florida Squeeze worthy of a political disclaimer is this:

     Florida’s political media, for whatever reason, sought to pain [sic] Cristt [sic] as a political opportunist. But in this era of term-limits and single-member districts the vast majority of those elected to state offices are opportunists that are constantly office-shopping. Crist was a publicity hound in the 1990s, a young Republican State Senator with ambition and in a hurry – but as a statewide elected official from 2002 to 2009 he showed the type of independence and leadership that Florida’s brightest Democrats of the 1970s and 80s had demonstrated.

It's official: The Florida Squeeze has been squeezed dry.
