Tampa – Vice President Joe Beiden canceled his trip to Florida, but Democrats have found a way to make headlines while Republicans mill around, waiting for things to start. From the Miami Herald:

Florida’s former Republican Gov. Charlie Crist will be a speaker at the Democratic National Convention.

An official with President Barack Obama’s campaign said Sunday that Crist will speak at next week’s convention in Charlotte, N.C., but the days hasn’t been worked out. snip

Crist announced Sunday that he is endorsing Obama. Republicans called the decision political opportunism and pointed out Crist has previously criticized the president on issues like his health care overhaul.

1. Cool. So his Obama endorsement was arranged a while back.

(This is surely not a spur of the moment thing. Obama doesn't do "joe the plumber" stuff of latching onto whoever pops up on TV)

2. Charlie Crist isn't crazy.

The Repigs are. Easy enough decision.

3. let it be forever known that the Democrats are sane & into bipartisan comity and compromise

and the Repubs ONLY want war.

They didn't even invite Lieberman this year, did they? How lonely they are.
