Dems to Crist: Butt out and back to work

UPDATE: Crist, Howard Dean and Michigan Sen. Carl Levin will be guests on This Week with George Stephanopoulos Sun.

Florida Democratic party communications director Mark Bubriski scoffed at Crist's suggestions that the state might help fund and run Democratic primary re-vote. Just another effort by Crist to get more media coverage, Bubriski said.

"The state of Florida does not have the money to pay for this election and the Democratic party of Florida is not asking the state to pay for it. We're concerned about the money the Republican legislators are trying to cut from education, health care,'' said Bubriski. "You can't turn on a cable tv station without seeing him. Cameras are knocking people out of the way to get to Charlie Crist and he's loving it. He needs to get back to work to fix this Republican recession."In fact, yesterday John  McCain nearly got bonked on the head by a TV camera trying to get past the Republican presidential nominee to talk to Crist.
