When he decided to flood Florida with hundreds of thousands of Haitian refugees, he sealed his fate. He is toast.

At a news conference Monday, FreedomWorks put out a list of candidates it is backing or opposing in key races this year. Florida Gov. Charlie Crist (R), a candidate for the Senate; Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.); and Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) each are labeled an “Enemy of Liberty” whom the group will oppose. FreedomWorks will back GOP Senate candidates Marco Rubio (Fla.), Pat Toomey (Pa.) and Rand Paul (Ky.) — each, according to the group, is a “Champion of Freedom.”

Come on people, please donate, even if it’s only a little. We all helped with Brown, now we need help with Rubio.

It is important to help Rubio. I will send a check.

FYI, I have seen him in person twice..in small settings..maybe 200 supporters, early on in his campaign. He’s intelligent, attractive, yes, even charismatic, very articulate..good sense of humor..in short, he’s tghe real deal...THis primary is over..the spread is going to widen. If/when Crist debates Rubio..well, it’s no contest...I think right now it’s 50/50 that Crist will drop out at some time..

I nearly lost my lower mandible when I clicked on the link your provided.
Earlier this afternoon, whne I last checked the Money bomb site, the Pledge level was just over 50%.
Now, it's actually pushed past 75% !!

Keep the Hits coming, FReepers ! We can turn Florida back to Red eventually!

Here's a list of the upcoming primary elections. You've got time to research them as each month comes up; and the search feature on FreeFrepublic sure helps...!

I am by no means a political expert---and I mean by no means!--- but my own advice, for what it's worth, would be to concentrate on just one or a few races, where you are confident that your candidate is fully worthy of your support, and/or the opponent deserves to be well and truly whomped.

I highly recommend giving to Patrick Hughes in Illinois. The candidate is worthy; his opponent is atrocious; the need is urgent; and the time is now.

Please support Rubio, a wonderful candidate--- and --- he's pulling ahead!

RUBIO ON THE ISSUES WE CARE ABOUT

A HIGHLY SPECIFIC FACT PAGE (That's what I like!)

CONTACT! .. SUPPORT! .. MARCO RUBIO!

[darkangel82]

He will be getting my vote 7 months from now.

[Crichton]

Crist will have to settle for an ambassadorship to somewhere warm, courtesy of BHO.

[Darren McCarty]

Great to see. Now it’s time to finish strong.

[lonevoice]

Such good news! Go Rubio! (I just love the smell of singed RINO in the morning)

[lovesdogs]

Thanks for the ping. Rubio has my vote and if he took paypal, he would have a few dollars from me. But seriously, Crist has not said word one about Haitian refugees.

No one begrudges the orphans or seriously injured folks coming here. But he has not said one word about hundreds of thousands granted green cards while 11+% Floridians are out of work. “America first” is about as much a part of his vocabulary as it is obama’s.

What Crist should do is run for a House seat against a Democrat

What Crist should do is go away. Besides, Governors run for the Senate or then the Presidency. The House isn't good enough for their egos level of public service.
