I believe Florida is a plurality of the votes, not majority...this POS could split enough votes off Rubio to win it for the dems outright.

He is a lying two faced RINO and deserves to be cast to the street for this one. Frankly if Rubio does not win, I hope Meeks takes it just to shove it up his backside.

Mouton, you are right, no runoff in the general election. I apologize for my post based on faulty info.

That makes me feel a little better. I think Rubio will come out ahead of Crist, but the big question is whether Crist will get enough R votes to beat Rubio. I don't think Tea Partiers will go for Crist unless some horrible Rubio scandal materializes.

Currently, I believe that only GA requires a majority of votes to win a Senate election (with a run-off if no one gets 50%).

Yes, in theory, Crist or Meek could win with 34%, but Rubio will get over 40% (probably over 45%) and will win handily.
