In Florida the GOP candidate for the seat being vacated by former Senator Mel Martinez will, in all likelihood, win in November 2010, for a number of reasons. Not least among them the prevailing political zeitgeist seems to be working in favor of the GOP because of Obama’s ineptitude, and his dangerous descent into the alternative reality of the leftwing feverswamp.

Also, it looks like the d-RAT favorite to challenge for the seat will be the hapless Kendrick Meek. I suspect that he is being offered up as the d-RAT sacrificial lamb, because the Florida and national RATS don’t know what else to do with him.

If we’re going to market and offer the Florida electorate a true conservative in Reagan’s words, of “bold colors,” instead of the “pale pastels” of moderate, eastern establishment, Rockefeller Republicanism as exemplified by Charlie Crist, than this is the year to get behind the gifted former Speaker of the Florida House, Marco Rubio.

You are exactly right. We have a choice. Polling shows that Crist and Rubio can both win against their possible Democrat candidates. Now the question is who do we want to represent us?
This photo op will cost Crist this primary if nothing else will.
