democrats are worried, can jeff greene basically buy a primary? is that the advantage that he does not need to take the money because of his personal wealth. >> if neither of these candidates could be charlie crist, what does that mean for support for the democratic candidate from washington? >> it is interesting. the strategy of charlie crist is in being able to pull from democrats. he was a popular governor, and got support from both sides, and it shows you how scrambled this race has become. democrats will argue, once they get into a general election fight, they will be able to show some momentum with the white house behind them. then there is the question of what is happening behind the scenes. are the democrats according charlie crist because they believe he will be -- courting charlie crist because they believe he will be the eventual winner? >> there were talks that harry reid had contacted charlie crist. >> i had heard about that. he was asked about that yesterday. he made clear there were no promises made. he did not say that he would cau
