Bringing Florida Sunshine to DC?

Here in Florida, Charlie Crist just announced that he will not run for a second term as Governor, but instead will run for the U.S. Senate.  Many people are wondering why.  He was on the short list for McCain’s VP running mate, so almost made it to Washington that way (and would have been on the “presidential track.”)  Historically, senators don’t get elected to become president (Obama is an exception) but governors do.  Hmm.

After the 2008 presidential election, the Republican party has been working on redefining itself.  Is Charlie Crist the new generation of the Republican party?  What does our generation think of him?
