None of the crew from Morning Joe--not Mika, not Joe, not Barnacle, and not Jon Meacham from Newsweek--can think to ask Mr. Independent 'man of the people' Charlie Crist this crucial question?

Hmm. Isn't it the most political obvious question from a man spouting the same old tired Republican talking points as Sarah Palin?

1. You'll be surprised to see the number of people on this board who want the Dems to support him.
particularly from Fl.

I guess transforming the Democratic caucus into a DINO caucus works for them.

2. Yesterday Howard Fineman floated the idea that Crist might become a Democrat. Of course, he didn't.

3. Crist will caucus with the GOP and have a similar voting record to his "moderate" buddy McCain. nt

5. Crist has already dodged this question-something he's quite good at, and no one seems to press him.

6. Would the Repugs allow him in?
They are much more rigid in their application of rules. Should he win and defeat a party-backed candidate would the repukes let him in?
Unlike how the Dems fall all over Joltin' Joe the lieber-hole.

7. Doesn't matter really; truth is most everybody caucuses with the lobbyists
all else is window dressing
