Dear Lord, does this man not have any hobbies?
Former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist is strongly considering a political comeback in 2016 now that a new state Supreme Court ruling nearly guarantees that a swing congressional seat will be redrawn to rope in his home along with a gaggle of Democrats, sources tell POLITICO.
Via @rumpfshaker. Mind you, we’re all just assuming that Charlie Crist will run as a Democrat, and not as a Green, or a Reform, or a Libertarian… OK, if it’s going to be one of those three it will have to be as a Libertarian, precisely because the idea of Crist running as a libertarian boggles the mind. The point is – well, I guess the point is: dear Lord, does this man not have any hobbies? And I am being nice; the alternative possibility is that Charlie Crist has some sort of compulsive disorder* that requires him to be constantly running for office.

*This being differentiated from the usual politician’s ego in that the sufferer probably isn’t enjoying the procedure very much. And I can’t imagine Crist enjoyed the experience of losing two statewide races (three, if you count that Senate primary) in a row.
Aim higher Charlie. Senator or President, as a D. There is room to Hilary’s left.

And he really is tanned rested and ready .
If the personal is political, every aspect of your life should logically be directed at amassing power.

It’s a self-refuting argument, but also sadly popular. After all, having power over others is catnip for a number of personality types.
… perhaps he’s got money in a campaign fund that he can’t figure out how to move into his own pocket?

His only other option is being a shyster lawyer (rainmaker…) for Morgan and Morgan, again. I don’t think he liked the step-up in morality needed.
