I know I’ve gotten at least one email “from” Jeb and it was for Rubio as part of Rubios email list.

This is better than an endorsement right now. First you hold a ‘private’ fundraiser, I put that in quotes because the event itself will be private, but it’s already in the news so Rubio can get a bit of mileage out of it right now (a defacto endorsement). Then next year Jeb can come out and endorse Rubio. Of course I expect Crist to have dropped out of the race by then

the north part of FL closer to the AL border? This is a very red area and they should be introduced to him. I think the counties in the Northwest part are the most red in FL. There are A LOT of retired military too.

Thank you! I would have totally missed that if you hadn’t of posted.

Wow RS is awesome. Now when I hear something political in the news clips on the radio for the first time in my life I have a clue. I heard about the unemployment extension about 2 weeks ag that will be voted on and I remembered Mike posting about that this summer so I knew what they were talking about. I know he posted a diary too but this was right before that.

The momentum is with Rubio. With the obvious lying and the people around him slowly revealing themselves as corrupt and underhanded, Crist is looking more and more like a bad choice.

And you forgot to remind us how bullish you are on Charlie Crist.

May even show an oscillation pendulum-like swing in the other direction-in which case it’ll be advantageous.

The 41 & 43 bashing has gotten old. Very old.

The Bush family rolodex of donors is the news here. As far as benefiting from endorsements, I think the Bush kids probably get more out of being in proximity to Rubio than the other way around.

…candidates don’t seem to have many discernible differences. Kinda ruins the whole concept of choice doesn’t it.
I always shake my head at the Dems who flee from their liberal states and come to Florida for jobs or to escape punitive taxes but then act, cry and vote the same way they did up north that ended up causing them to leave in the first place. How dense do you have to be?
Go home and quit ruining Florida!

I am a bit nervous with us holding that seat

George 1 == George Herbert Walker Bush, #41
George 2 == George Walker Bush, #43

George P. Bush == Jeb’s son, #43′s nephew, #41′s grandson. Thus, not the same as George 1 or George 2.

Now, maybe George P. is as much of a squish as #41, or as much of a fiscal liberal (“When people are hurting, government has got to move”) as #43; I dunno. But that’s not what Scope was saying.

Charlie Crist is a liar and a deceitful politician. His campaign has been caught twice now doing dirty tricks against Marco Rubio. Setting up fake websites claiming to be Rubio’s websites saying nasty things against Crist trying to make it look like Rubio was playing nasty and calling Crist Hitler. Too bad Crist’s assistant forgot to take his … Read Morename off the files used to set up the web sites. I will NEVER vote for him again and wish I had known the first time around. He’s acting like a scared kid with no idea how to campaign properly and feels he has to rely on deciet to get ahead.

…And I still don’t agree with him.
