Disgusting. My biggest concern about Rubio is that he's backed by the Bush family, but that's probably because he's Hispanic.

Margaret Carlson: The Republicans should be happy over Dorgan, that's a reliably red state they'll get it back unless they do what's happening in Florida, which is to have a nasty primary in which the more conservative tea party candidate wins and then can't win in the general election. You have down there Governor Crist who at one time had a 70 percent favorability rating fighting off a primary challenge from Marco Rubio an attractive 38 year old cuban american
Tom Ashbrook(host): Tea party guy
MC: A Tea party guy, who if he's successful will be the first republican to harness the tea parties from a fragmented chaotic group of people with disperate purposes into a voting coalition that gets him into office. Poor Governor Crist, who had the misfortune at a time when stimulius money was coming to florida, and man hugging obama when he came to florida to push the stimulus; a photo which by the way has gone viral.
But "poor governor crist", what a great line. Most of the commentary is the typical drive by drivel not worth bothering with, but this is too much.
The segment regarding Dodd/Dorgan starts at 32 minutes, MC starts at 34:30.
She must have missed Tuesday's results in MA.
I cannot wait for our HomoGuv to go down, in defeat that is!
Let the let the limpwristed, flag-burning salad-tossers keep calling us "teabaggers". It only increases our numbers and in November THEY are the ones who get teabagged.
Well, McCain will tell you that HE is the reason Scott Brown got elected.
Hear the thunder of the racing RINO’s. Two career politicians go at it. I do not understand the enthusiastic support for the amnesty loving Rubio so what if he would be a little better than Gov sun tan. There would be no gain from Mel.
Send a non politician to Washington!
I was wondering who the hell On Point Radio was but then I saw a bunch of NPR references and I put it together. More non sense from the far left.
Hear the bellowing of the dying RINOs?
Music to the ear!
Die, die soon.

Rubio in his own words. He doesn’t support amnesty.

Exactly! Turn that music even louder!

I do not understand the adoration for Rubio, either. FIVE TIMES while Speaker of the Florida House...Rubio killed anti-illegal alien legislation that would have passed, easily.
Rubio is pro-Illegal Alien and Open Borders....and Florida would just be getting Mel Martinez, Jr. by electing Rubio.
The GOP would be making another McCain Mistake....thinking a pro-illegal, Open Borders RINO like Rubio would win Hispanic votes.
As a Florida resident, I am interested in other options besides the RINOs Crist and Rubio....and thank you for your link.
Completely not an issue. In fact, in polling, Rubio beats Meeks (Dem) worse than Crist does, so the "Tea Party candidate can't win the general!!!" argument has no merit whatsoever.
That could explain why he has such a strong backing from the Bush family.
“As a Florida resident, I am interested in other options besides the RINOs Crist and Rubio....and thank you for your link.”
Assuming no difference in the two on Amnesty (which may well be the case), Rubio still comes out better (as I understand it) on just about everything else - so he’s still much more preferable to Crist...and Crist looks like the kind of guy that is going to have a ‘boy problem’ in some form, sooner than later...whereas Rubio does not.
But the real reason is to teach the Republican Party a lesson - which will be that the grass roots are perfectly capable of choosing candidates in the Primaries, and the best thing for the party to do with the pittance it still manages to get from people is to sit back until the general election, and then fund the races and get out the vote efforts...as they did in MA.
It would even be dumb for them, in my opinion, to fund conservatives over liberals in the primaries - as NONE of that money does anything to win in November. JUST STAY OUT.
Meeks is a well known name in south Florida, Miami/Dade Browardand Palm Beach are a bastion of liberals.
I live in Plam Beach, for 30 years, I have never had a Congress person represent me, except for a few terms with E Clay Shaw.
We do no need an unknown 3rd party person run.
JMHO of the polatics of Florida, I was involved in champaighns for 20 years.
Here she is on "Meet the Press", trying to look like Barney Frank.
