Peter Schorsch of SaintPetersBlog.com believes it makes sense. In his daily newsletter, “Sunburn,” Schorsch wrote that one way for Gov. Rick Scott to win re-election right now would to have the Board of Trustees at Florida State University appoint Charlie Crist its next President now that Eric Barron is off to Penn State.
“Crist is an alum. He can certainly raise money. He loves football,” said Schorsch. “Being president of Florida State is a much better gig than being governor. Even the pay is better!”
He said that one FSU trustee had already suggested the Crist hire to him…”off-the-record and tongue-in-cheek.”
