Former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist endorsed
President Obama for reelection on Sunday, writing in a Tampa Bay Times op-ed
that the president is "the right leader for our state and the
nation."
"I applaud and share his vision of a
future built by a strong and confident middle class in an economy that gives us
the opportunity to reap prosperity through hard work and personal
responsibility," Crist writes.
"It is a vision of the future proven right by our history."
Crist, a former Republican who served as
governor from 2007 to 2011, switched his party affiliation to Independent
during a failed U.S.
Senate bid. Crist lost the 2010 race to Sen. Marco Rubio.
