Fox News reports they have learned Charlie Crist will announce an independent Senate run tomorrow.
If true, some of my readers owe me a back wax.
UPDATE: Adam Smith of the St. Petersburg Times has more:
So the word is out: Crist is telling key financial backers that he’s running for senate with no party affiliation. The announcement is scheduled for 5 p.m. in Straub Park in downtown St Petersburg. They’re expecting a small army of media, and it looks like Crist may have no Republican press staffers with him, and will rely on folks like local supporter Greg Truax and finance director Dane Eagle to deal with press inquiries.
His kick-off fundraiser is tentatively scheduled Fisher Island off Miami Beach, where his wife owns a a home.
