Can anyone proffer a reason why Crist

[choie]

resigned today? I truly hope that there's nothing explosive on the horizon.

1. To run his campaign, I guess. I hope we don't need his vote between now and December...nt

2. To work in earnest on winning the FL gov race?

3. So someone can be appointed to take his place on the ballot.

4. I guess to focus on his governor campaign?

His term in Congress expires after this election, so may as well spend all his time on the governor's race.

I remember Bob Dole resigned from the Senate to focus on his presidential run. That actually came at a cost, since he could have kept his Senate seat if he had wanted to.
