“The
slight edge Crist held over Republican "Tea Party" favorite Marco Rubio
in August has evaporated and turned into a wide deficit as he courts
what appears to be a fast- shrinking moderate vote.
A Reuters/Ipsos poll on Wednesday showed Rubio far ahead in the
three-way race to succeed Republican Senator George LeMieux, with
support from 40 percent of likely voters. Crist had 26 percent while
Democrat Kendrick Meek had 21 percent.
Florida's U.S. Senate election is widely viewed as a referendum on
President Barack Obama's handling of the economy, and Rubio appears to
be landing knockout punches bashing Obama. (Reuters)

Right now, O'Donnel should be praying that Mike Castle decides to run as an independent.
ReplyDelete"Conventional wisdom" in Florida was that Crist and Rubio would only split Repubs, and 100% of the Dems would vote for the Dem.
I think what we're seeing in those percentages is something very different. Rubio is drawing all but the hard core Left from the Dems. The same could happen in Delaware.
The only thing Crist will do is spoil Rubio from a 60% rout.

I will take this opportunity to repeat myself: People are really mad. Mad enough on the R side to vote early and often.
ReplyDeleteOf course I could be wrong. But, I know that *I* am mad as hell. The juvenile Affirmative Action WH resident has taken a faltering economy and turned it upside down. Ignorance is no excuse, this was deliberate in the process of enacting his legacy, people be damned.
