Florida Republican Party Chairman John Thrasher said Friday that Gov. Charlie Crist’s name didn’t emerge at the huddle of the GOP’s executive board, but those attending clearly see him as central to the troubled era of ousted chairman Jim Greer.
“The governor is the guy who pretty much placed Chairman Greer in the position he did,” Thrasher said, during a break in an expected daylong, closed-door meeting of party leaders.
