interesting thing about these polls is that the questions are specifically designed to make the responder choose between Crist or Rubio, and completely ignoring the actual REPUBLICAN PRIMARY... If Marco Rubio would attend some of these events that Dr. Escoffery is going to or at least send a REP.. I am sure with all the funds he has in his campaign war chest he can afford to pay someone to show up on his behalf or make a statement on his behalf like (sorry I am so busy on the campaign trail) <— Where is he by the way? I have heard rumors that Marco Rubio is being “groomed” for a Presidential run, has anyone else heard that? If so, does he at least intend to finish ONE term or will he (if actually elected) just serve 1/3rd of a term and start running for President? Or maybe when Charlie Crist beats him in the general election he will abandon the U.S. Senate all together and just run for President in 2012.
