Charlie Crist making another switch

It’s fair to call Charlie Crist a switch-hitter — since he switched from the Republican to the Democratic Party, and switched from being the governor of Florida to being a candidate for the US Senate.

The latter switch didn’t work out too well. Crist lost to Marco Rubio. Now, he’s switched his sights back to the governor’s office, where he began before all his switching.

Deep-pocketed Democrats will welcome him with open checkbooks on June 21 at the Bridgehampton home of Lauren and Charles Fernandez.

The other hosts include talent manager Darren Bettencourt, taxi medallion banker Andrew Murstein, and Bobby and Jill Zarin. Jill is formerly one of the “Real Housewives of New York City.”
