Charlie Crist Will Run For Senate

After months of titillating evasion, the governor of Ponce de Leon's meth-swamp has finally (almost) come out and made a very important personal announcement: he'll be running for the Senate next year when Mel Martinez retires.

He'll probably win this thing in a walk, being a pretty popular governor and having virtually no opponents since Jeb Bush decided he wouldn't run. WOE BETIDE any Democrat who decides to run against this shiny orange deity, as they will be thrown into a pit of crocodiles, for sport.
