Exactly. I’d say Crist’s cross will take votes from her boy, not Rubio (i.e. Florida teacher’s union employees weren’t going to vote for Rubio, they were going to vote for Meek.)
In 1980 the media cheered when John Anderson ran as an independent against Regan and Carter. They were certain that Anderson’s run would return Carter to the White House. My history book indicates that it didn’t quite turn out that way.
