Maybe He Watches GRΣΣK, Too

The current governor of Florida, Charlie Crist, announced yesterday that he's running for U.S. Senate. He's hoping to replace Sen. Mel Martinez (R), who announced earlier this year that he won't be seeking reelection.

Crist, of course, has gotten plenty of attention in the last year. His endorsement of John McCain before the Florida primary helped McCain win the Republican nomination, so Crist's name was batted around as a possible VP pick.

For years, Crist has denied rumors that he's gay, and Wonkette had a field day when Crist suddenly announced last summer that he was engaged. Some people believed this was merely a stunt to make himself more eligible to be chosen as McCain's VP.

Regardless, McCain went with Sarah Palin, and Crist did actually get married over the winter. Now, he seems like the favorite to win next fall's election for Senate.

There's really no point to this post, except to share these wonderful pictures of Crist from his days as an undergrad.

Maybe my generation should think about the kinds of pictures we have up on Facebook -- would we really want someone digging them up 20 years from now and using them to embarass us? Not that Crist's pictures are that embarassing, certainly not as embarassing as some themed mixer pictures that we Cornellians have on Facebook. Just something to think about.
