McCain Pitching for the Other Side Again?

[Geee]

American Spectator:

John McCain has taken time off from badgering Republicans to support comprehensive immigration “reform” (aka eliminating America’s southern border), and talking about how he wants to cooperate with the Obama administration, to whoop up Charlie Crist’s chances of once again becoming Florida’s absentee governor.

McCain told the Tampa Bay Times that he thinks Crist — the former Reagan Republican, former independent, and now Obama Democrat — would be “very competitive” if he runs against incumbent Republican Florida governor Rick Scott. (Actually, there’s no if about it. All Crist knows is politics and campaigning. He has no other skills or interests. He will run.)

It’s hard to argue with this. Scott has been middling good on policy during his term, which began in 2010. But he’s an almost incoherent speaker, utterly charmless, and has consistently racked up polls in the sure-loss range since he’s been in office. Someone chosen randomly out of the Florida phone directory would probably be competitive against Scott.
