John McCain had a coup with the endorsement of Florida's Governor Charlie Crist the weekend before Florida's primary. Crist's and General Schwartzkopf's endorsements may well put McCain over the top Tuesday. Crist, who enjoys an approval rating of over 70% from Florida voters, will influence wavering Republicans. The General will sway Florida's large contingent of retired veterans, as will McCain's own military ties in the state.
If John McCain becomes the Republican Party's presidential nominee, I expect Charlie Crist to be his running mate. Because of Florida's importance as a swing state, there has been speculation that Crist, with his popularity in Florida, would be on any nominee's short list of possible vice presidential candidates. Time will tell if McCain and Crist brokered a deal for v.p. over the weekend.
