(Reuters) - Republican candidate Marco Rubio has opened a clear lead in a Florida Senate race, becoming the latest "Tea Party" favorite to benefit from voter anger at Washington, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found on Wednesday.

Six weeks ahead of Nov. 2 congressional elections, Rubio leads state Governor Charlie Crist, an independent, by 40 percent to 26 percent among likely voters, the poll found. Democrat Kendrick Meek trails at 21 percent.

Rubio has very little TV in SW Florida yet

Tampa area Rubio is running more than Chuck Farley and Meek.

I was down in West Palm today and there were Allen West signs everywhere along the interstate. Nice to see a sign that wasn’t blue.

That damned crist CAME OUT FOR THE MOSQUE AT GROUND ZERO!!! He is finished!!!

[Popman]

I can't wait to see this POS Alan Grayson kicked to the curb. I betchca he will have one hell of a concession speech, probably will need to "beep" out most of it LOL

Can't wait to see (Ret.) Col. Allen West walk into Congress and watch the craven, feckless, arrogant, gutless, spineless quisling Dems and Rino's pee in their pants

Can the Ruling Class hear us now??????????!!!!!!!!

Great post - Steve Southerland is an outstanding candidate for FL 2 in North Florida, strict constitutionalist and absolutely able to beat Allen Boyd who really needs to go home to his farm in Monticello.

Charlie never did anything. The guy basically cruised through his political career.

I’ve heard local interviews with Boyd - he can talk circles and dodge more questions than a squirrel can dodge cars in a school zone.

It sounds like Rubio is in the enviable position of Rick Perry in 2006, divided opposition. Perry has no such luxury this year and could lose to a former state Democrat party chair and former Houston mayor. Maybe the forthcoming Perry ads will move the momentum away from Bill White, who is younger than Perry but looks much older.

Good. Around here they have been promoting some poll with Sink ahead by 8.

[screaminsunshine]

Obama may give him a job as the AIDS Czar.

[screaminsunshine]

Well we know any Crat who votes Crist is a Racist Bigot.

[The Pack Knight]

So, has the NDSC decided to just completely abandon Meek and back Crist yet?

[Maelstorm]

Yep Rubio held a lot of money for the home stretch.
He is a smart guy. I’m glad I supported him when few new his name.

[Caipirabob]

I guess he's met somebody special.

That's going to be rough on his wife.

Charlie - "Honey, I've met that special someone and I'm leaving"

Beard - "Who are you? Oh Chaaarrlie!...."

This is a load of crap. Rubio is an establishment Republican.

Alex Snitker came from the Tea Party, but the media is desperately trying to keep him under wraps.

” If Rubio can get his total up to 44 or 45%, Scott will probably benefit.”
thats a good point i really hope Scott wins this. that primary was nasty though. i hope Scott can reinvent himself somehow

Maybe Bawny Fwanks old seat will be open soon.

Fwanks "Old Seat" has been open for decades!

Jeb’s big mistake...Crist is toast in Florida...People do not like a two faced B...... He gave us McCain... another RINO gone GOOD...

He sure did give us McCain and so did Rudi Guiliani and Arnold Schwartzenkennedy. I'll never forget the three of them standing there on TV endorsing the Manchurian right before that critical primary day.

At the time I thought all three deserved a total irreversible political demise and I dearly hoped for it. IMO Guiliani has fared the best of the three with Arnold in 2nd place barely holding it together before he's out of office where he has presided over the utter destruction of what used to be a wonderful state. Christ is used dog food.
