Crist: I’m in the GOP primary to stay

Florida Gov. Charlie Crist’s statement leaves no wiggle-room — he’s running for Senate as a Republican, even if he is trailing conservative Marco Rubio in the GOP primary.

“To put these rumors to rest once and for all, as we have said countless times before, Governor Crist is running for the United States Senate as a Republican,” said Crist Campaign Manager Eric Eikenberg. “He will not run as an Independent or as a No Party Affiliation.”
Crist, the statement said, is “proud of his conservative credentials and stands firmly behind the principles of limited government and more personal freedom, the bedrock values of the Republican Party.”
