Live Blogging the DNC: Charlie Crist

Crist says he didn't leave the Republican Party. The Republican Party left him. Crist says he can't support Romney and Ryan because they are beholden to billionaires and uncompromising bullies.

Crist didn't come out and officially declare himself a Democrat. Crist's DNC speech was short but will make people believe that he is positioning himself to run against Rick Scott.

Jeb Bush will probably not like Crist calling him a "friend."
