Charlie Crist has been a major political figure there for decades, and I can’t tell you a single thing that he stands for except “looking like a man who would be cast as a politician on a network television show.”—Hamilton Nolan at In These Times, musing on the profound dysfunction of the Florida Democratic Party and their selection of former Republican Charlie Crist as their gubernatorial nominee this year.
He's an optimist.
He thinks that it is incompetence and a lack of focus. It's not, it is corruption.
As I noted recently (2 days ago), "The Democratic Party establishment (There is no Democratic Party establishment) is not in the business of winning elections. The Democratic Party establishment (There is no Democratic Party establishment) is in the business of paying for their kids private school educations."
The structure of the party, particularly in Florida, is directed toward people personally enriching themselves at the expense of their supporters and donors.
