Sweaty Presidential Campaign News


Geez, did anyone else see how profusely Charlie Crist, the Republican governor of Florida, was sweating while onstage for John McCain's victory speech in tonight's primary? It was streaming down his face, on all sides, constantly. I think CNN kept cutting to its 45-degree shot of McCain and the crowd so they could avoid having Crist, looking so serious and wet, in the shot. (I can't immediately find a photo from the speech, so we'll go with a much drier, more composed portrait of Crist.)

And don't get me started on how tan Crist is! God, I would never want to live in Florida. Ugh, the heat -- and it's not a dry heat, either!

Welcome to the national spotlight, Charlie.

Rudy's gone by Friday. (Though everyone in the know seems to be saying earlier.)
