There was considerable apprehension (if not downright opposition) amongst members of the Florida delegation regarding former Gov. Charlie Crist's appearance at the DNC. However, there was no shortage of enthusiasm for him this past Saturday morning when he introduced President Obama to an estimated 11,000 people at the Seminole branch of St. Petersburg College.
"Even while I was still a Republican, when we had an oil spill, when we needed help for our teachers, our police and our firefighters, President Barack Obama was there for us," Crist said. "And now it's time for us to be there for him again!"
Though Crist has said nothing about running for the Democratic nomination for governor in 2014, speculation continues to swell about him doing so, and nothing will stop that with the publication of a new poll by the folks at St.PetePolls.org.
The company robo-called 1,689 Floridians on Saturday, and Crist took 61 percent of those surveyed about who they currently support for the Democratic nomination in 2014.
