Gov. Crist loses another

Rep. Tom Grady, R-Naples, has resigned from his position as regional chairman of the Charlie Crist for Senate campaign, citing a gap in ideologies that appears to be widening.

“We have always disagreed on some important issues (market-based insurance, claims of climate change, judicial appointments),” Grady wrote in an e-mail addressed to Gov. Crist, “but the list appears to be growing (education excellence, ending entitlements, rail).”

Grady also mentions a change to the governor's website that suggests Crist is prepared to completely drop his affiliation with the GOP. “Your website has eliminated all references to our Republican Party,” he notes.
