Those wise heads at the Miami Herald editorial board don't appear so smart after all. The Ivory Tower on Biscayne Boulevard issued a "challenge" to U.S. Senate candidate Charlie Crist "to explain to voters what's at his core." The editors might as well have asked a chameleon to divulge its true color.

Are any Republicans planning to vote for Charlie Crist this November? If so, they're keeping a low profile.
Not so for Democrats, however. State Sen.-elect Maria Sachs of Delray Beach and state Rep. Darryl Rouson of St. Petersburg -- both Democrats -- endorsed Crist's U.S. Senate bid this week.
And little wonder. Crist has tacked leftward on virtually every issue since bolting the Republican Party in April (though he still seems confused about his position on Obamacare).

Passing up a chance at free media -- or perhaps exercising damage control -- Charlie Crist will be a no-show this Sunday on MSNBC's "Meet the Press" program.
Crist's nominal excuse is that he has prior campaign engagements. Really? There are no remote hookups from the hustings? The guv can't spare the time? What gives?

In this tumultuous political year, the latest sharp surprises come from the far reaches of the Anglosphere -- Alaska and Australia.
Usnews.com's Jessica Rettig wrote an article Monday detailing the chances of Democrats and Republicans in the upcoming general election.
Among the more interesting portions is a quote from the director of Public Policy Polling, Tom Jensen: "Crist or Rubio would have to self-destruct for Meek to have a chance at winning."
