Thank God. After juicy rumors swirled that Florida Governor Charlie Crist of Florida may pursue an independent candidacy should he lose the Republican primary in the Florida Senate race to Marco  Rubio, Crist’s campaign has put them to an end.

“To put these rumors to rest once and for all, as we have said countless times before, Governor Crist is running for the United States Senate as a Republican. He will not run as an Independent or as a No Party Affiliation… This should completely and utterly put to rest any of the unfounded rumors coming from the Rubio campaign that Governor Crist would run as anything other than the Republican that he is.”

When Rubio likely wins the primary, the lack of an independent Crist splitting the Republican and conservative vote would greatly increase Rubio’s chances of defeating whomever the Democratic challenger may be.
