Crist says he's open to supporting a Democrat for Senate majority leader

Florida Gov. Charlie Crist (I) would not say Sunday which party he'd caucus with if elected to the Senate.

Crist, who left the Republican Party this week to pursue an independent bid for the state's open Senate seat, said he would be open to voting for a Democrat as majority leader.

"I'll caucus with the people of Florida," Crist said during an appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press."

Crist had vowed until this past week to run as a Republican, but abandoned that bid after polls showed his conservative primary challenger, former state House Speaker Marco Rubio, set to beat him in a Republican primary.

1. He has been a happy (R) for awhile, he will caucus with Repubs

and be every bit as "moderate" as his buddy McCain.

Crist says whatever he thinks will help him win.
