Morning Joe 07:35am
Interview

TRANSCRIPT:
JOE SCARBOROUGH: Set the stage for us just how big she [Palin] is in red state America?

CHARLIE CRIST: I can talk about Florida. Her performance was outstanding. And the crowds were amazing.

JOE SCARBOROUGH: You know McCain, your candidate, the guy you helped put over the primary is losing, hes losing right now in your state. He needs your 70% approval rating. Whats going on? You and I both know if a Republican candidate is losing in Florida in October there are big problems ahead.

CRIST: I think its going to be fine, I really do. There is plenty of time. I know that Governor Palin really helped the ticket yesterday and on Monday. Its all about turnout now.

SCARBOROUGH: He was ahead four or five, six points for most of this campaign now in some polls hes bled 14 points, hes down by 8, why?

CRIST: Well things have changed. The economy is struggling, there is no question about it.

SCARBOROUGH: Your approval ratings havent gone down. I mean your approval rating is at 70%.

CRIST: Well Im a blessed man, and we work across the aisle here in Florida. I cant explain it. But John McCain does that, he works across the aisle, he works with all people to try to do whats right for our country. And I think by the end of the day, by November 4th people in Florida are going to understand that. They love his patriotism Floridians love John, they really do. []
