Dan Gelber Encourages Charlie Crist to Embrace the Big ‘D’

As speculation grows that Floridas former Republican/independent governor Charlie Crist slinks closer to taking the plunge into running again for the office, former state senator Dan Gelber isnt waiting.

Now that Crist has endorsed U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Orlando, Gelber --a Democrat from Miami Beach --writes in a column for Florida Voices, Charlie, welcome to the party!

Gelber also argues for his party to embrace Republicans and independent voters who are no longer comfortable with the GOPs rigid and extreme dogma.
