RPOF Revives 'Empty Chair Charlie' Attack on Charlie Crist

The Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) shows no signs of slowing down its attacks on former Gov. Charlie Crist, a former Republican who joined the Democrats in 2012 and is expected to run for his new partys gubernatorial nomination. On Thursday afternoon, the RPOF unveiled the relaunching of a website which was created by the Florida Democratic Party in 2008 to attack Crist who was then being considered by John McCains campaign for the vice presidential spot on the Republican ticket. The Empty Chair Charlie website is the latest round in the RPOFs This Day in Crist-ory series of attacks, hitting the former governor for his previous positions and stances.

"Those who plan on voting in the Democratic primary next year deserve to be reminded of how the Florida Democratic Party felt about the man who is now courting them for their nomination in next year's gubernatorial race," said RPOF Chairman Lenny Curry on Thursday. "As a lifelong Democrat, a simple question for Allison Tant would be whether or not she agrees with FDP's attack that Crist was 'supposed to be working for Florida, but it's clear as day that Charlie is only working for himself.
