WASHINGTON, May 18 (UPI) -- The Republican Party must embrace the "optimism" of its foremost historical leaders to win the upcoming election, Florida Gov. Charles Christ said Sunday.
Speaking on CBS' "Face the Nation," Crist said his fellow Republicans must embrace the "roots" of their party to find their way out of a popularity downturn that has GOP politicians and consultants concerned that voters will hand them a severe setback in November.
