Crist Holds Book Signing In Miami Beach

Former governor Charlie Crist came to Miami Beach last night to sign copies of his new book. The book is called “The Party’s Over,” and in it Crist attempts to explain why he switched from being a Republican to a Democrat after losing his U.S. Senate bid. Crist says his move is justified because of changes in the Republican party.

"What moved was not me, what moved was the leadership of the Republican Party", Crist explained. "I mean they went so far to the right that even Jeb Bush himself says the party is perceived as being anti-women, anti-minority, anti-gay couples, anti-immigration, anti-education, anti-everything you can think of almost."

Crist will continue his book tour through south Florida with stops in West Palm Beach and Ft. Lauderdale.
