Republicans are weighing in on Gov. Charlie Crists decision to abandon the Republican Party to continue running for the U.S. Senate as an independent. At a time when people are demanding a return to conservative values Charlie Crist headed the opposite direction, said Holly Benson, a candidate for attorney general who Crist appointed to head the Agency for Health Administration. Now, he has abandoned not just our values but also the party faithful the leaders, the volunteers and the voters who helped him every step of the way.

Kottkamp Stays with GOP Instead of Crist
Submitted by Kevin Derby on April 29, 2010 - 6:02pm
Lt. Gov. Jeff Kottkamp may have been Crists running mate in 2006, but he is off the Crist band wagon in 2010.
I hope the Governor's decision today to run for the United States Senate as an independent candidate, rather than as a Republican, will have no impact on our personal relationship, said Kottkamp. However, as a lifelong Republican I am committed to supporting my party and the principles I have fought for my entire life. I will support the Republican nominee for United States Senate.
