No Convention for Governor
September 2nd, 2008 by Mike VasilindaGovernor Charlie Crist was to be a major speaker at the Republican National Convention in Minnesota this week, but the governor is still here in Florida. The reason: three tropical storms potentially taking aim on the state. Crist says he may address the convention via satellite, but that is still up in the air.
“We’ve got a lot coming at us and I think it’s important to be here,” Crist said. “You know, I understand why people are up there and I appreciate that. Electing the next president is an important mission, but protecting Florida is mission number one for me.”
Crist has already sent video messages to Florida’s delegation, telling them why he isn’t there and how they can monitor the threat to the state.
