The Passion of Crist
To Washington he craves to be sent,
Even though that means paying his rent.
Charlie Crist merely seeks
To whip Rubio and Meek,
By running as a scared independent.
Verbatim
Let’s change the system and talk about what the possibilities are. I’m telling you that this works. You know, before we all started having health care, in the olden days, our grandparents, they would bring a chicken to the doctor. They would say I’ll paint your house. [That’s] what people would do to get health care with their doctors. Doctors are very sympathetic people. I’m not backing down from that system.
— Sue Lowden (R), the front-running challenger to Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV), suggesting that health care could be paid for using the barter system without estimating how many chickens it would take to pay off an appendectomy.
If Charlie Switches…or, How to Change Everything With One Primary
Each hour closer to the April 30 deadline for Charlie Crist to switch ’em if he’s got ’em (parties, that is) brings more scenario-spinning in Florida.

“Our job is to elect Republicans so that’s what we’ll do – and I don’t care who it is.”
— Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tx), chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, throwing away all pretense that the GOP’s sole purpose is anything but regaining power. The comment was directed at Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, who Cornyn vowed will get no Republican support if he runs as an Independent in the Florida Senate race.

Via: Politics Daily: SarahPAC took in $400,000 in the first quarter of 2010, which left it with $900,000 in the bank. She donated $7,500 to candidates, including Rand Paul in Kentucky, the son of Rep. Ron Paul, who is running as the tea bagger opponent to the GOP candidate. However, she donated nothing — zero dollars — the campaigns of candidates running against the 20 House Dems she targeted, literally, on her Facebook page.
Meanwhile, she spent $7,300 to de-ice private jets, and $11,596 on photography.
