Another point to consider is that Obama has fallen out of favor with many conservative leaning Democrats, so with Crist on the ticket, it would be a brilliant head fake by President Obama to coming across as being somewhat bipartisian in picking ‘Independent’ Crist. We must also take into consideration that Governor Crist has been in lock-step with Obama’s agenda since the beginning of his issues roll-out back in January of 2009. Remember the notorious hug where Crist literally embraced Obama and his failed stimulus plan? How about when Crist stated that he would have voted for Obamacare?…

Governor Crist has already stated that he would have left the GOP regardless of his lagging poll numbers early last year, and he publicly stated his true feelings towards Republicans on the following Shark Tank video which circulated across the country…

Another point that is worth considering is that Governor Crist received substantial support from Democrat leaders and activists throughout Florida, as well as more than a few ‘tingle up my leg’ TV pundits. The charismatic Crist is still an impeccably polished and relentless politico who is always in “campaign mode”, and he’s has demonstrated that he is always looking to advance his career by climbing the political rungs. While a Congressional run is probably out of the picture, if the opportunity to be the next Vice President of the United States were presented to him, he would immediately seize it. It is impossible to understate Charlie Crist’s ambition, ego, and his political appeal; and President Obama may not have any other choice but stroke that ego if he wants to regain lost popularity and win another term in office.
