Crist cool to 'Sen. Bush'? Yeah right

Florida Gov. Charlie Crist today gave his stamp of approval to a possible U.S. Senate run for former Gov. Jeb Bush, who has said he was considering a campaign for the seat Mel Martinez will leave in 2010.

"Gov. Bush would be a great candidate, and I hope that he runs,'' said Crist, speaking at Art Basel Miami Beach. "I would encourage him to run if that's what he wants to do.''
