TAMPA - Gov. Charlie Crist has a whopping lead over former Florida House Speaker Marco Rubio for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate, according to a poll released this morning.
Crist leads Rubio, 54 percent to 23 percent, for the 2010 primary nomination for the seat now held by Republican Mel Martinez, according to the Quinnipiac University poll.
U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek, from South Florida, leads the Democrats with 18 percent of voters, but 57 percent say they are still undecided.
"Marco Rubio says there are many Florida Republicans who don't want Charlie Crist in the U.S. Senate," Quinnipiac pollster Peter Brown said. "Unfortunately for Rubio at this stage, many, many, many more favor Crist."

So, who’s the Falcon party candidate for Florida Senator?
You campaigning for Loafers? We will endorse Rubio.
So, who’s the Falcon party candidate for Florida Senator?
I don’t know if the Falcon Party is the answer, but there MUST be something better than the GOP. Maybe they should change their name to the Grand Old Perverts party.
Isn’t he that queer?
Let’s wait and see. I assume that the Florida primaries are closed, so if republicans in Florida prefer Crist, then so be it. If they prefer Rubio, all the better. But let the people decide. Although I would love for all conservatives all the time, I am against imposing on anyone.
If the primaries are open though, they yes, I agree with your sentiments.
LOL. And Loafers will undoubtedly just take in state campaign donations?
The media will send love notes and will endorse Crist until his is the candidate. Then they will proceed to out him as a bisexual and generally smear him.
If I lived in Florida I’d campaign for whoever could beat the stinking Democrat.
Crist is one gay bar surveillance video from disaster.
You don’t think Marco Rubio can beat KENDRICK MEEK statewide???
If he can win the primary, he can win the election.
Yeah. That’s why we end up with two bit chumps like McCain as the nominee.
I am starting to talk up Rubio to everyone I know. Crist is a worthless politician who is just aching to live the high-life in DC. Ugh.
Is this a poll of Key West bath houses?
Never mind.
You owe two-bit chumps the world over an engraved apology, sir.
If the Cubans back him, he’ll kick ass.
First gay Senator? (I give Craig credit for bi- since he at least has kids)
Right, so why not support the better, more conservative candidate?
Crist is worthless. Anyone who supported the Stimulus shouldn’t win any GOP primary.
