Crist praises Rudy, but may not endorse before 1/29
Homestead, FL — Florida Governor Charlie Crist praised Rudy Giuliani today but intimated that he may hold off entirely on endorsing a GOP candidate until after the scheduled January 29 state primary.
“I love the guy. I think he is wonderful,” Crist said during a quick interview in pit row during today’s Ford 400 NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship. “(But) I might wait and let the people of Florida make their decision first. I’m the people’s governor and I don’t want to usurp democracy from them.”
Carl Cameron reported last month that Crist is likely to endorse Giuliani but will likely wait for a strategic time in the run up to the primary. Florida is a must-win state for the former mayor and Crist’s organization and popularity would be a major asset.
For his part, Crist did little to knock down that thinking today, making sure his affection for the mayor was clear, adding an extra, “I sure think a lot of the mayor” for good measure.
