Another Day, Another Democrat: Now Harry Reid is Calling Crist

On Friday, I reported that Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell and Charlie Crist had a telephonic tete-a-tete that afternoon.

It turns out that the governor/Senate candidate also got a call from another big-name Democrat -- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

The Wall Street Journal reported today that Reid called to wish Crist well in his independent campaign. No word if Kendrick Meek or any other Democrat in the field got similar encouragement.

The Democratic Party clearly has a conundrum -- stick with Meek, who is barely showing a pulse in the polls, or quietly get behind Crist, a crossover chameleon who is leading in the latest three-way heats.

Today's Journal amplifies Sunshine State News' earlier story about Democrats flirting with Crist.
