Florida GOP: If Sink doesn’t endorse Rich, that means she’s endorsing Crist

in Uncategorized by
Alex Sink told the Associated Press on Friday that she does not intend to run for Governor in 2014. The Republican Party of Florida was quick to react.
 
 “Now that Alex Sink has opted out of the gubernatorial race, will she stand with Florida’s leading liberal Nan Rich?” asked Republican Party of Florida Chairman Lenny Curry. “Anything other than full-throated support for Senator Rich is an implicit endorsement of Charlie Crist, a candidate she called a ‘disaster.’ The Republican Party of Florida is more than happy to run the campaign that Alex Sink would have run against Charlie Crist, who oversaw the second highest jump in unemployment in the country and was close political allies with criminals and felons.”
