Will Obama Hurt Crist Again?

Beth Reinhard: “As
the Republican governor of Florida, Charlie Crist paid dearly for
putting his arms around President Obama at a town hall touting the
Democrats’ economic-stimulus plan in February 2009. The governor’s chief
rival for the U.S. Senate, Marco Rubio, replayed footage of the embrace
over and over, savaging Crist’s conservative credentials. Now running
as a Democrat for his old job, Crist may find that his continued embrace
of an increasingly unpopular president–and his controversial health
care law–could thwart him once again.”
