Live now on Fox

Rubio is framing the contrast very well. Excellent debate and criticism of Florida Governor Christie's support of the stimulus plan.

Rubio: "We need someone who can stand up to Obama"

Rubio on partisanship: "Lower the corporate tax, lower thwe capital gains tax, reduce the obstacles that make it increasingly hard to do business in America, and I'll be happy to cooperate....but what the Obama administration is attempting to do is fundamentally change America, and we can not cooperate on that."

I won’t name names either. I’ve also heard rumors.

McCain is worse than Crist. He has stabbed us in the back for over a deacde. Crist less than 4 years.

Yeah, overall we should be wary, and definitely check out what's going on behind the scenes in every way we can (internet searches, etc). The last thing the Tea Party movement needs is a big scandal to taint the entire GRASSROOTS effort. And silly little turf battles don't help either...

Crist had an illegimati child years ago, rumored that he paid off the woman. His only kids are his filthy stinkin' rich wife's kids. THEY FILE SEPARATE TAX RETURNS so he can "cry poor me. I'm poor Charlie."

Poor Charlie is just one of his lies.

And, excuse me. EVERYONE MUST KNOW THIS: Florida's legislature is only in session for a very brief time. When it's not in session, the legislators HAVE REAL JOBS. He was accusing MARCO RUBIO of having a real job. Isn't that a good thing? Crist wouldn't know what a real job is.

Crist started killing Terri Schiavo in 2003. So, that's been for me, gee, seven years. In a keynote speech with country clubbers, he stated that the two judges who killed Terri were "heroes of his."

McCain is old. Crist looks old but young enough to cause significant damage and the OLD GUARD republicans are for Crist (handful). The new dynamos of the party like Ryan are for Rubio.

[floriduh voter]

Crist had no policy positions. (replaying now). He talks up a populist storm just like Obama. Crist always was a HAS BEEN. Oh, Rubio "fixed his mini-van". Here's the TRUTH: Rubio had a CAR ACCIDENT IN A PARKING LOT at a political event. So, he got his car fixed and paid it back as soon as his insurance claim paid him back. Crist knows the national audience doesn't know this. Crist is counting on donations from the whole county and even foreign donations.

How can a car accident caused by another driver be a valid accusation? It's not!

[floriduh voter]

Crist is a RINO. Before you tell us to leave because we are for Rubio, if the founders of Free Republic decide Crist supporters MUST GO, it shall be. Charlie Crist is a RINO which is not a freeper thing to be.

[Frantzie]

McCain has to go. I am very happy that FL is taking out the garbage. I think UT and PA will also take out their garbage (Bennett & Specter).

AZ has to dump McCain. He has caused far more damage to Conservatives than Crist. I loathe Crist but McCain is worse.

When “The Villagers” lose their prescription drugs and their medicare is cut, they’ll wake up.

[Hildy]

Yes, the AZ race is going to get very, very ugly. But JD can handle it.

[floriduh voter]

Everyone who can, please support Marco Rubio. Crist always has big, dirty money (which might not save him this time.)

VERY interesting post, floriduh voter... thanks!

Rubio’s speech at CPAC was the very best one. The conference went downhill from there. CPAC needs to jazz it up a little bit imo. Rubio was the high point. There should have been many more.

[floriduh voter]

On rerun, Crist said to Wallace that he would have voted with Arlen Specter. I didn’t catch that the first time. So, Crist is a big, fat RINO/marxist.

[floriduh voter]

Nutmeg, Crist tried to paint Rubio as in lobbyists' pockets. Rubio is permitted to have employment when he's not in session. Crist is a big distorter and everything's been handed to him.

Rubio had a REAL JOB not on govt dole like Crist. Rubio made $300,00 in atty fees. Well, that right there proves he's even a BETTER LAWYER than Crist who had no clients except possibly his dad, Dr. Crist. (I'm originally from St. Pete. I know too much lol).

[floriduh voter]

Cover Florida only covered 1/10 of 1 per cent of Florida's uninsured (only 5,000-6,0000 people). Wallace: "It hardly covers Florida."

Crist = epic fail. Can't run anything but his boat or his Jag.

Obama and Crist held hands at the airport in Tampa about a month ago. Crist is a believer. Crist didn’t HAVE to meet Obama at the airport but he did. After that, Crist skipped Bambi’s townhall but we saw him at the airport. I did a thread here.

[NautiNurse]

He got married - to a woman - right before he was elected governor (or soon after), right?

Governor Crist became engaged to wealthy NY socialite Carole Rome in July 2008, when Crist thought he would be McCain's running mate for the 2008 presidential election.

Crist and Rome married in December 2008. A few short months later, Crist decided a U.S. Senate run would be a nice consolation prize for his failed VP aspirations. Fortunately, Florida conservatives have other plans for our representation, along with canning the FL GOP director Jim Greer.

SENATOR!!! I lacked coffee ration when I wrote that.

Palm Sunday it is today and there was me wondering why obama left the country

All makes sense now, visit the troops and get out of town as an excuse to not go to church.
