I don’t know that Jeb Bush, former Republican governor of Florida, is ever going to endorse the current Republican governor’s primary opponent for Senate. But he sure isn’t Charlie Crist’s best ally. The Rubio campaign is understandably sending this around this morning, from an interview with Gov. Bush:
Governor Crist is a talented guy. He’s about the nicest person I’ve ever met in politics. But there’s one thing he’s done that I just find unforgivable. That I’m aware of, he is the only statewide political leader that embraced the stimulus package when Republicans were fighting to suggest an alternative. … In its place, we have this massive spending bill that is not related to stimulus. It is related to trying to carry out a liberal agenda. He did it the day before the vote, it was a mistake, and then he denies that he would have supported the bill. I know I’m supposed to be politically correct, and I said I was neutral and all that, (but) I got a problem with that.
