Floridians ..... what's the back story on Mel's bagging it?
I don't get it. Is he on to something else? Relationship issues? Money? Making way for BigHead J.E.B.? What will Crist do ..... appoint himself?

1. I wish he would appoint himself.
If he did, he might just switch parties to remain relevant. The psychos scare the shit out him too I think.
Yeah, the primitives scare the excresence out of everybody.

2. Lack of ideological *purity* and downright disgust with his own party are my guess.
I really haven't gotten wind of any fresh scandal. One thing's for certain: Charlie Crist is now in a pickle to fill this seat for the remainder of the term.
Let's watch Charlie squirm.

5. Sparkly and I were batting this around at supper ....... I'm thinking a Diaz-Balart .......

3. Got screwed by Bush (George not J.E.B.) when he was made Party chair
it was the kiss of death for his polling numbers and fundraising ability and he's never bounced back so he called it a day. Add to that when the Senate changed hands he lost a lot of power and importance so it just wasn't worth the headache anymore.

4. He's a quitter - just like his pal on the opposite corner of the country
Can't take the heat, so he wants to run for the hills.

6. One more thought: He was pissed about Sonia Soto Mayor getting dissed by his party so he pulled the plug even earlier. (He voted for her by the way)
Oh, I dunno.
These Florida primitives don't seem to know anything more about Florida and Floridians than does Oscar Wilde, the large-proboscised primitive, transplanted to Florida from the New York City area.
