Mr. Poe already has him on his List.

If he ain't gay, then I have to re-calibrate my gaydar...

If he ain't gay, Mr. Poe is going to be very sad.

If he ain't gay, well I don't have anything else...

Doesn't he mean "From whom much is given, much is expected", or is he saying that the rich expect to get richer?

The most ludicrous claim here isn't that he's straight; it's that in the video he says that the nation looks to Florida to lead.

Can't we keep this discussion until after he's clinched the nomination? Because wow.

Winston Churchill (Church for short)

Age: unknown

Hometown: Ludlow, ME

Died: November 24, 1983?

Incident: After being run over, Church was buried in the Pet Sematary, and was resurrected, but now he smells really bad.

At least he's not as gay as a certain US Senator from South Carolina ...

Somewhere between Leslie Nielsen and Dave Reichert.

And yeah, the gaydar-o-meter needle is pegged.

A friend of mine in Florida said the guy is gay. Has a lot to do with sleeping with one of the local "rent boys" in Ft Lauderdale.

You know, if the Stranger can pony up the money to send Charles to Italy for a story, they could certainly cough up the $300 - $400 to send Mr. Poe to Talahassee as "special correspondent."

I'm sure he could get to the bottom of this very timely issue.

Well, at least he's not a Deke like the current idiot-in-chief. Note the one-year marriage. Check Item #7 further down in the "other articles" where a woman at a press conference flat out asks him about his orientation.

Heh heh - "bottom" = heh heh.

Katie, bar the doors! Mr. Poe is in hot pursuit!

@16, nevermind. Put on your bifocals next time and read more than just the signature. Or maybe Mr. Poe's shopping cart is becoming cliché.

He's Gay. We're just not supposed to know it, shhhhh.

Clearly he's going for gay republican voters.

Shhhh!! Let McCain make the announcement first. Let him spend a few weeks talking up his running mate to conservative voters everywhere and THEN throw a Mr. Poe (and video camera) into the beautiful embrace of Crist's wide stance.

where's the taunting from mccain/crist08?

let's hear how that ticket will beat obama/richardson like a drum!

So what if he's gay? (I'd guess he is.) McCain is guaranteed to win the general with Crist on the ticket. The youth, who don't like Hillary, will gladly flock to Crist.

Beware of tanned politicians from Florida... they may do something seedy Mark Foley style...

I'm pretty sure he's the clone of Bob Barker.

OMG I would totally let him fuck my shit to dripping fudge.

Why are so many people talking about me? Apparently I announce myself like a rock concert in Boise, ID.

Shhh! We're trying to get the Stranger to pick up the tab for your Come to Crist tour.

Straight men don't do that schmaltzy Vegas lounge lizard thing this well, nor do they have such...aerobic eyebrows.

I fact, he kind of resembles Stuart Smalley with better diction.

'k Mr. Stealth. Just be prepared for a big, Coppertoned power bottom when you get there.

Gay? I don't know about gay. But with a name like Crist he's gotta be Jewish.

He actually didn't set my gaydar off at all. Dan, sometimes I think you're obsessed with closeted gay republicans.

Charlie Crist won't get the VP nod. The Republicans here hate him, so he won't even secure Florida for them in the general election.

The local paper actually just ran an article on the many women of Gov. Charlie -

@ Napoleon --

Thanks for the cornflakes through my nose...

Miss Crist shall not be the Republican nominee. All this speculation is just to keep discussion of the republicans in the news. I would expect someone that would add something to the ticket, attracting the far right of the party, offsetting some democratic advatages and suitable to lead when the old man dies.

I predict Condoleeza Rice will be the VP nominee.
