Anonymous sources close to the Florida governor have told Fox News, Politico, and the Miami Herald that he will bolt the GOP. Crist is expected to spend tomorrow making courtesy calls to supporters ahead of his afternoon press conference. During the announcement, he will likely say that he intends to caucus with Senate Republicans, notes Fox. Crist, the onetime frontrunner who now trails Tea Party favorite Marco Rubio for the GOP nod, must formally announce his affiliation by Friday.
