In a poll released today, 2.5% of registered Florida voters said they would vote for Libertarian U.S. Senate candidate Alexander Snitker if the election were held today. Even more surprising is that the number jumped to 12% of likely voters who said they were familiar with Snitker. This is the first scientific poll to include Snitker.
The poll, commissioned by the Snitker campaign and conducted by Telsel, Inc. of St. Augustine, surveyed 505 registered voters selected at random from the 2010 Florida Division of Elections database. Of the 505 respondents, 447 said they are likely to vote in the November 2010 election.
The party affiliation breakdown among respondents was 43% Democrat, 43% Republican, and 14% third party or NPA.

Good idea! Let’s all vote for Snitker so that he can double his 2.5% to 5% and allow liberals Meek or Crist to get elected. We can’t possible support Marco Rubio, since we only agree with him on 99% of issues.
There are plenty of elections in which voting for a non-career politician is a good idea. The FL Senate race is not one of them.
Go Rubio!
Great idea! Let the conservatives split the vote between Rubio & Snitker. That will make it lot easier for Crist to win.
End of sarcasm.
Sorry can’t vote for rubio he has a record an extremely RINO one The POS stopped Arizona type immigration reform 3 times as a leader in the house but now he has seen the light BS
You didn’t notice all of the sarcasm that was dripping from my post?
Yeah! We can’t support a RINO like Rubio.
Better to have Crist win, since he doesn’t stand on the right side of any issue...
Compromise is such a dirty word, isn’t it?
Well, he may represent 2.5% of the voting base. Oh wait, not if loses the race.
Don’t get me wrong, I am very anxious to topple the two-party structure.
But any talk of doing so without a 30% splits is just silly.
2.5% is not even grasping at straws, it’s grasping at bricks.
I have been at small meetings with Snitker twice and he is the real deal a citizen candidate. Says if we must have him for a second term he will go along but won’t work towards it. Will walk the walk as far as what is in the federal govn’t’s constitutional duties and vote against the rest. I am tired of the go along to get along pols if we elect rubio we may as well resurrect mel martinez at least he would have some seniority.
Yes! I did!! And I just wanted to extend it with another post.
You are dead on on this point. Splitting the vote is the dumbest strategy.
Read what Ronald Reagan had to say about compromise. And when Crist wins the nomination feel really good about doing your part to get him nominated!
