Democracy Dies in Darkness
Charlie Crist defends party switch
Former Florida governor Charlie Crist explained his decision to become a Democrat in an interview on MSNBC's "Hardball" Monday.
"I'm a live and let live kind of guy," Crist told host Chris Matthews. "The Democratic party is where I am much more comfortable." The current Republican party, he argued, is not very compassionate or tolerant, and "middle of the road, commonsense Republicans" are a dying breed.
