Charlie Crist Regrets Marriage Petition

"Would I do it today? No. I think the best way to judge where my heart is is to look at the deeds that I have done, whether as attorney general, governor -restoration of rights, civil rights cases, things of that nature that I think show a compassionate heart and hopefully someone who cares and knows who the boss is - and the boss is the people of Florida." - New Democrat Charlie Crist, on his 2006 signing of a petition to place a ban on same-sex marriage in the Florida state constitution. The ban was approved by voters in 2008 with 2% more than the 60% majority requirement.  It would surely fail today.
