Gov. Crist’s new campaign tool: Mrs. Crist
TALLAHASSEE (AP) – Gov. Charlie Crist, a veteran of four previous statewide races, is using a new tool in his Senate campaign – a wife to help him raise money.
Crist’s Senate campaign sent a mail solicitation from Carole Crist that asks for $1,000, $1,500 or $2,400 to help send her husband to Washington.
In the letter, Mrs. Crist says it’s hard to believe that the couple has been married almost a year, and talks about traveling the state with the governor.
Those experiences might be somewhat exaggerated. Carole Crist is rarely with the governor at official events, yet the letter talks about seeing the horror of storms, weeping with families who’ve lost loved ones to war, sharing the sorrow with those who’ve lost homes and more.
