PINELLAS PARK, Fla. - Republican Charlie Crist won't appear with President Bush at a Pensacola rally Monday, choosing instead to take his gubernatorial campaign to seven other cities on the last day before the election.

The attorney general's opponent, Democratic U.S. Rep. Jim Davis, seized on the news, saying the president is one of the Republican's biggest supporters.

"And now that the president is so unpopular, Charlie refuses to stand side by side with him," Davis said. "It says when the going gets tough, Charlie won't stand up."

Crist's chief of staff, George LeMieux, said he made the decision Sunday morning and that it wasn't a snub of the president, rather a choice to appear in cities where Crist has a chance of gaining ground.

2. How To Destroy Crist

Hey Floridians - paste a "W Still the President" or some other assholeish Bush sticker on every Crist sign. Make sure everyone thinks Crist and The Smirk are joined at the hip.
