Charlie Crist chuckles and snickers for Snitker to partake in debate
No, he hasn’t had a sudden sense of fairness overtake his overly-tanned body, but Charlie Crist has called for Libertarian U.S. Senate candidate Alex Sniter to be allowed to participate in the next televised debate. Understand, Charlie’s good will is for Charlie – as Snitker in the debate means more heat on Rubio. Snitker – as the true conservative in the race — more than likely siphons off Rubio’s vote more than anyone else’s, thus enhancing Crist’s prospects — which according to the polls, don’t look so good right now.
Despite those polls, I’m going out on a limb and standing by my earlier prediction that Charlie Crist wins the U.S. Senate race, though I’m still planning to vote for Snitker.
