Analysis: With election near, Charlie Crist changes

in Statewide by

A sure sign that an election is a year away: Gov. Charlie Crist is changing again. The populist Republican governor is trying to convince people he’s a conservative now that his opponent in the Republican primary for Senate, former House Speaker Marco Rubio, has cut considerably into Crist’s lead in the polls with a conservative message.
