Why Crist won't quit.

Some have asked why Gov. Charlie Crist won't simply quit in his effort to represent Florida in the U.S. Senate.

After all, he's been absolutely crushed in his primary against conservative darling and a fave of mine, Marco Rubio, and most don't give him a chance in hell in a three-way race where Crist is running as an Independent.

But then I thought of a couple lines of dialogue from a favorite movie of mine. You may recognize it:

Quintus: People should know when they're conquered.
Maximus: Would you, Quintus? Would I?

A fair point.
