Crist’s Engagement History Clarified, Wedding Date May Be A Way Off


In a brief interview this morning, Gov. Charlie Crist clarified his past engagement history, which he said has been reported wrongly in some newsoutlets, and added that his wedding to Carole Rome probably will be after the Nov. 4 election—maybe not be until spring.

Crist had said last week, when telling friends and reporters about his engagement, that the wedding likely would be “some time in the fall.”

Asked today if it was likely to be before or after the election, he said likely afterward, and that it “could be in the spring—it’s looking like the fall will be pretty busy,” clearly referring to the election, in which he is a strong backer of John McCain.

Crist was married once before, very briefly, in 1979, and has said he was also engaged once a few years later.

But at least one state newspaper has reported that Crist has been engaged four times previously. That’s incorrect, Crist said, and the newspaper involved published a correction today.

In fact, Crist said, during the early 1980’s, a few years after his marriage, he had a romantic relationship with a Maryland woman he met at Ronald Reagan’s inaugural, and the two became engaged. They then broke up, but reunited later and got engaged again.

Counting Rome, his engagement to his former wife, and the two engagements to the Maryland woman, Crist said, he has been now been engaged a total of four times.



I really wonder about this guy.  I think he is waiting to see if he might be picked up for a vice pres candidate and then he has to pick the right women for the job.  U know what I mean.  Someone has to run the whitehouse.

It’s a shame the man can’t be openly gay, all these engagements and a brief marriage are so unnecessary… You shouldn’t have to be a Larry Craig to get elected as a Republican.

Clever timing to get engaged again and possible throw off some rumors about his lifestyle while putting off the actual marriage until after all the votes have been cast.  Can I get odds on whether or not this engagement will see it’s way to the altar?

I guess since same sex unions aren’t legal, the engagements he’s had with men over the years aren’t included in the final total, correct?

If this guy thinks that getting married will futher his career…he can forget it.

By allowing guns being brought to the work place( oh locked in your cars)...well in more normal parts of the country that will not fly…

He commited political suicide with that dumb and dangerous law.

Crist PLEASE! spare me the drama of your womanizing ways. You need to focus on what you were elected to do and what you said you were going to do. “drop taxes like a rock”. Remember that?  Oh yeah! here’s another “Get tough with insurance companies”. You need to get a back bone my friend or you will not be re-elected in Florida. Phony Republican.

Wish it has been five times.  Good looking guy.  A gentleman and a gentle man.

Wow, I didn’t think Gov. Crist could find someone more tan than he is.  He needs to take even more time off of his job that he does nothing at, and work on his tan.  Instead of focusing on his wedding, why aren’t all the news outlets harping on how he hasn’t done anything to lower property taxes or insurance rates that he promised during his campain?

Who cares how many times???? Leave the man alone with his personal life. He can do whatever he wants with his romances & private life. All we have to do is wish him well, pray for him! that he will find the right lady for him in order to be happily ever after and wish him the best in all ways of life, as in politics & as a husband.
Dear Mr. Gobernor I wish you the best & may God guide your heart thru the right paths in life, God Bless you.
