Sen. John McCain told the Tampa Bay Times that Charlie Crist “would be a tough candidate if he decides to challenge Gov. Rick Scott, as expected.”
Said McCain: “There are a lot of people who thought he did a good job when he was governor. Everything I hear from my friends in Florida is he’s going to be very competitive.”
When asked if he would campaign for Crist, McCain said, “I couldn’t do that. But I’m not sure I could campaign against him.”
