DSCC Charlie Crist Ad

Charlie Crist hasn't officially announced his intention to run for Mel Martinez's seat. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is assuming Crist is running. The DSCC has launched an attack ad.

"Florida faces tough times and the budget mess could mean cuts in police, schools and health care, but instead of working to fix it, Charlie Crist wants to quit to go to Washington," an announcer says in the ad. "Crist enjoys being governor when he attends basketball games and Super Bowl activities, and when he takes over 60 days off with no schedule, but now the job's getting tough, and Crist wants out, leaving Floridians with the mess."

My take is Crist will run for the Senate and President in 2016. 2010 is not a good time to be Florida's governor.
