One doesn't even have to read between the lines here, from a Crist fly-around the state:

Crist mentioned McCain at each of the three stops, but only fleetingly, devoting more time to candidates like Nancy Detert, running for an open state Senate seat in Sarasota. Crist and Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer said McCain will win in Florida. But Greer said the decisions made by the McCain campaign in Florida were being made separately from the state party.



"Sen. McCain's campaign has utilized its own strategies that it's developed and the party has provided as much assistance as possible to that particular strategy," he said.



Asked about the divisive tone struck by McCain and running mate Sarah Palin in recent weeks, Greer said they were not representative of the RPOF's efforts to focus on issues and policies.



"I think that Sen. McCain has to consider political strategies that are unique to his campaign and don't necessarily reflect how the governor or I as chairman feel," Greer said.



Crist was asked about the attacks from many McCain supporters that Obama is advancing a "socialist" agenda.



"I imagine different people have different definitions. I don't think it looks that way to me," he said.
