In public, the line has been drawn. Republicans have abandoned Gov. Charlie Crist, who announced that he was running for the U.S. Senate as a nonpartisan candidate, and thrown their muscle behind Marco Rubio.
But for Republican and Democratic legislators in Pinellas County — Crist’s home turf — the choice is not as clear cut.
