The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Florida shows Marco Rubio attracting 40% of the vote, while Charlie Crist picks up 30% in the race to become the state’s next U.S. senator. The new Democratic nominee Kendrick Meek earns 21% support.

Maybe he could get a Czar job. Of what I do not know.

Something 'character appropriate' like "Honey Bucket Czar".

[NeoCaveman]

What happened to all those polls showing Crist in the lead?

The oil leak was plugged.

The Dems have chosen their candidate.

Night night Charlie.

Rubio started with this core message before the Tea Party movement even began, so I think he is the real deal. The only thing I don’t know is how much he’ll ‘evolve’ join the beltway crowd once he is there. By all signs, I think he will be a solid ally of DeMint to build a conservative coalition. If there is a core group of DeMint followers in the Senate, it will provide a real platform for principled conservative governance out of the Senate....something I have not witnessed in my lifetime.

"No, only GA does that for general elections (although I think LA is brinigng it back for 2012)."

I was wondering that myself. Clearly Georgia does have run-off elections, but are they the only state that does that, or are there others besides LA?

Obama allies Crist/Meek Lead Tea Partier Rubio 51% to 40%

I hear you! Both he and McCullough scared me with their original positions on Immigration and then their “what I really meant was....”.

I'll vote for Rubio and if he doesn't live up to his mantra, then he's a one term Senator for me.

I think the “Oct Surprise” in this race is Crist dropping out and endorsing Meeks, then in Jan 2012, announcing he is accepted a position in the Zero regime.

NICE!

YESSSSSSSSSSSS!

Lucky Florida - hope you don’t blow it!

Lucky wife!!!!

I believe that GA is the only state with run-offs in federal general elections (and only for Senate, not House, elections); LA will have run-offs for all elections starting in 2012.

[Mygirlsmom]

Sadly, 30% is strong for such a miserable husk.

Many Democrats in that 30% I would venture to say.

This is really reassuring news. Don’t know where that Quinnipiac poll came out with a big Crist lead about two or three weeks ago.

[No Socialist]

Rubio has some work to do.....the liberals are taking 51% total.

[southernnorthcarolina]

Meek: "I'm a liberal running against two conservatives. Rubio and Crist will split the conservative vote, and I'll win."

Rubio: "I'm a conservative running against two liberals. Meek and Crist will split the liberal vote, and I'll win."

Crist: "I'm confused."

Quinnipiac also had McCollum winning, and were off about 15 points for Meek.
