CBS News: Crist Draws Reagan Parallel to Quiet Critics

According to a recent Quinnipiac poll, Florida Gov. Charlie Crist trails fellow Republican Marco Rubio in their Senate primary race by three points – a statistical dead heat. Some of Crist’s critics paint the governor as a RINO (Republican in Name Only) while Rubio is seen as a true conservative.

Crist addressed his naysayers during an appearance on CBS’ “The Early Show” Thursday.

“If I’m a RINO, then so is Ronald Reagan. I’m [a] less taxing, less spending, less government, more freedom kind of guy and I just take a pragmatic common sense approach to government. And if that’s not what the people want, they’ll let me know. But I’m confident that it is,” he told “Early Show” co-anchor Maggie Rodriguez.
