Charlie Crist, as it stands right now looks like he will give Mark Rubio a run for his money come the 2010 Elections on November 2. Crist, could actually become a Florida Senator without being affiliated with any political party. If he were to win this year’s election and take a Senate seat in Florida, this could impact the future of politics in many ways.

If Crist could become a Senator running as an independent, whats next? Could we finally see a President of the United States run an an independent and actually have a fighting chance? Sorry Ross Perot.

More importantly Charlie Crist could help influence other big name political candidates to run as an independent. Could this become a new thing for politicians to do? When it comes down to it, a large amount of political candidates can not honestly say they are 100% conservative, or 100% liberal. Why affiliate yourself with a party at all, if you have some liberal beliefs that are mixed with conservative beliefs?

Most voters are not far left wing or far right wing when it comes to their political ideals. Can they really be classified as a Democrat or Republican, if they have mixed beliefs? Party affiliation gets in the way of many things for a politician. Perhaps Charlie Crist will show America that it is alright to be “independent”.
