I’m looking over the Charlie Crist campaign’s YouTube channel, and if they have run a positive, Crist-centered 30-second ad, I haven’t found it yet.

It suggests the Crist campaign was launched without a good, clear, simple, and easy-to-remember answer to a fundamental question: Why are you running for Senate?

Of course, even other questions seem to be getting tougher to answer. No independent bid? Pulling ads? The Crist campaign is Lost. I don’t mean that they can’t win or that they don’t know what they’re doing; I mean that they’re in a tropical location, nobody can follow their story lines, the little bit that we know gets ever more complicated and contradictory, and whenever we think we’ve figured something out, that bit of information gets eaten by a smoke monster.

The Marco Rubio campaign says Charlie Crist has halted all its TV advertising in the Orlando and Tampa Bay markets where the anti-Rubio spots were airing. That’s presumably a sign that Crist has decided to marshal his resources for later or perhaps drop out altogether.
Meanwhile George LeMieux just appeared on The Daily Rundown on MSNBC and dismissed the prospect of Crist dropping out of the GOP primary and running as a no party affiliation candidate.
“I have every reason to believe that Charlie Crist is running as a Republican and this independent thing will not happen,” LeMieux.
