Crist snubbing Giuliani?

"I hope that's why, but I don't think so,'' said Orange County GOP chairman Lew Oliver, who is McCain's regional chairman. More likely, Oliver said, Crist simply wanted to ramp up attendance in his home county's Lincoln Day dinner. Hmmm. Or maybe Crist wanted to keep an eye on Rubio in his backyard.
