Charlie Crist’s principles

One wonders how Charlie Crist can still have a viable candidacy. Last week he told an interviewer that had he been in the Senate at the time, he would’ve voted for Obamacare. The next day he said he misspoke.

By the Weekly Standard’s count, he’s had six different positions on the subject.

Does anyone doubt that Crist would still be a Republican today had he not faced a primary challenge from Marco Rubio?

“Those are my principles, and if you don’t like them… well, I have others.”

It was funny when Groucho Marx said it. In the real world, you’d think that such a cynical attitude would doom a politician. But it seems like 1/3 of Floridians like their politicians to be flexible.
