Breaking this morning: “Jim Greer, former head of the Republican Party of Florida, was arrested this morning, according to law enforcement officials. There was no immediate word on charges.” Federal authorities were reportedly investigating a lucrative contract Greer awarded himself and an associate while he was running the state GOP.

This is the Jim Greer often described as “Charlie Crist’s personal pick to head the Republican Party of Florida.” Not that the Crist campaign needed more bad news.
