UNITED STATES: STATES: FLORIDA: POLITICS:
Crist Announces Independent Bid for Senate
Crist Announces Independent Bid for Senate

MIAMI Gov. Charlie Crist announced Thursday that he will run
independently for the United States Senate, giving Florida a race that
will once again make the state a gawk-worthy stage of American politics,
where the country's desires, fears and conflicts play out.
Mr. Crist told supporters in his home town of St. Petersburg that his
decision to leave the Republican party is "the right thing for America"
and "the right thing for Florida."
"My decision to run for the U.S. Senate as a candidate without party
affiliation says more about our nation and our state than it says about
me," Mr. Crist said. "Unfortunately our political system is broken. I
think we need a new tone in Washington."
In a six-minute speech in which he was accompanied by his family and about
250 supporters, Mr. Crist acknowledged that he was in "unchartered
territory," but even the most experienced strategists here are uncertain
about what to expect. Perhaps never before, they say, has there been a
three-way Senate race in a major swing state, with each candidate well
financed, and so much at stake in terms of the balance of power in
Washington.
The usual campaign script with candidates playing to their base in the
primary, then moving to the middle in the general election arent relevant
anymore. The winner in November will might need as little as 34 percent of
the vote, and with only 22 percent of the Florida electorate registered as
neither Democrats nor Republicans, the most vital question of the race
will be: How frustrated are voters with their own party, and how many will
stay loyal?
Both parties have to go out and secure their base to win, said Steve
Schale, state director for the Obama campaign in 2008.
