Progressive Republican and Florida Govenor Charlie Crist will announce what we all knew was coming. He will announce that he will run as an Independent. He is trailing Marco Rubio badly in the polls, so rather than admit defeat he will run independently. This is an example of how the Elite Progressive Republicans feel it is their right to rule. Hopefully he will lose so Progressive Republicanism becomes discredited.
Republican Florida Governor Charlie Crist has decided he will run as an independent in the race to fill the Florida U.S. Senate seat, Crist allies tell Fox News. The official announcement is scheduled for Thursday at 5pm ET in St. Petersburg, Florida.
The Senate campaign has been rough and tumble for Crist, he was once the front-runner — but in recent months began trailing his GOP opponent, former Florida State Speaker Marco Rubio.
Crist has said that under no circumstance would he drop out of the race, saying he will do what is best for the voters of Florida. The governor says Republicans in Washington want him to stay in the Republican party but voters in Florida have told him they want him to run as an independent.

Progressive Republicans like Charlie Crist are no different than their Democratic counterparts. When he says “the people of Florida” it is no different than Hugo Chavez talking about the people. It’s a farce and all he wants is power. I hope Florida voters send him packing!
