Bush stumps for Crist despite his absence
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush urged Florida voters to support the Sunshine State's GOP gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist Monday, despite Crist's conspicuous absence from the President's rallying stage.
"Tomorrow you get to vote for a new governor, and I strongly suggest you vote for Charlie Crist to be governor of the state of Florida," Bush told a large crowd in Pensacola. "He's experienced, he's compassionate, and he'll work hard on behalf of all the citizens of this important state." Crist ruffled some White House feathers when he decided to skip the President's rally and campaign in more moderate districts on the last day of his gubernatorial campaign. --CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney
