Charlie Crist endorses Obama in the Tampa Bay Times on the eve of the Republican convention.

Former Gov. Charlie Crist: Here's why I'm backing Barack Obama

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. It is a vision of the future proven right by our history.
