Sweatpants aren’t just comfortable exercise attire. They’re also a subtle way of telling the world you’ve just. Stopped. Trying. In the video above, it’s hard to tell whether Gov. Charlie Crist has reached that point in his senatorial campaign — or if he really is on the way to a race, as he claims.

Automobile Dealers Association. He’s shaved, which is a good sign. Hair
looks trimmed. But it’s a real slacker of a speech. Basically, “Hey, you

used to drive a Ford Mustang — but now I have a driver… So I guess
that means we have nothing in common. Anyway, donate to my campaign.
Crist… out.”
