First, former Gov. Charlie Crist went from being a Republican to Independent, then his wife recently switched to the Democratic Party. Does that mean Charlie can’t be far behind? Crist has been spotted recently getting friendly with prominent Democrats and it’s causing speculation that he might return to politics with a new party. Since leaving office in January and taking a job at a personal injury law firm, Crist has done events with a number of prominent Democrats, including Alex Sink, who was her party’s nominee to replace Crist; former Sen. Bob Graham, who has also served as governor; and U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor. He’s donated money to Democrat Patrick Murphy, who hopes to challenge Republican Congressman Allen West, a South Florida freshman who is a national tea party favorite. And on top of all that, his wife, Carole, recently registered as a Democrat. It’s led to speculation that Crist will seek to return to public office with the only party that will welcome him — Democrats.
