After the last questions had been asked at a news conference regarding St. Petersburg Democrat Darryl Rouson's bill to reform the election process in Florida, reporters quickly descended in front of Charlie Crist to ask the burning question of the day.
Had he, in fact, once dated Natalie Khawam? Khawam's identical twin, Jill Kelley, has become one of the most famous people on the planet in the past 72 hours based on her involvement in the downfall of CIA Director David Petraeus.
"No," he replied softly to the question. (The Daily Telegraph of London alleged that he had.)
When asked if he knew the Kelley family, Crist said, "Not well, but I know them."
WTVT Fox-13 reporter Lloyd Sowers then asked about a dinner at Bern's Steak House with the Kelleys and the Petraeus. What was that like?
