McConnell's Crist Problem

A long time ago, in a galaxy far away, Sen. Mitch McConnell endorsed Gov. Charlie Crist. That was before the Tea Party movement. Marco Rubio started speaking at Tea Party rallies and a far-right conservative star was born. Now McConnell is figuring out how to back Rubio without appearing to flip-flop on his Crist endorsement. On Fox News Sunday Chris Wallace asked McConnell if he was going to pull his endorsement of Crist. "Not today," McConnell said.

McConnell was asked about Crist's potential NPA candidacy on CNN's State of the Union. McConnell tried his best to duck the question.


"I'm going to be there behind the Republican nominee, whoever that is," he later repeated.


A true profile in courage.
