....in the latest Rasmussen survey of Florida voter preferences for the
general election, 38% to 34%.

Rubio, of course, has the Republican primary locked.

The Democrat in the general election race hasn't the name recognition
yet of Rubio or Crist.

Could be the most interesting general election in the country this fall,
with Rubio getting the hard-right mindless conservative voters, Crist
pulling moderate Republicans and some Indys and Dems, and maybe winning,
or spoiling Rubio's chances, giving the Dem the edge.

I don't have a horse in the Florida U.S. Senate race, but if Crist or
the Dem beat Rubio, it'll be a slam on the mindless right, and *that*
can only be good for America.

Crist is a dead man walking. The Dems could care less about him and the
Reps are sharpening their knives.

Rubio is a crook but that's alright with the Reps. As long as he stays Rep.

Crist is at least somewhat centrist.

Certainly more than Rubio. I'm no fan of Crist, but I'd rather see hijm
in the Senate than Rubio, a goose-stepping conservative.

Interestingly, even Rubio is not in favor of the Arizona bs.

Rubio is trying to regain the support of the latino community that
used to be solidly in the GOP corner.
They are generally right in lock step with the righteous right.
Abortion is murder, Jesus is lord and women should be home cooking
dinner right after they finish their hotel maid job.


Correction: Women should not be working.

It's a bit generational. While older Cubans are still fighting the
Revolution, younger Cubans are not nearly as conservative.

Once the Castros die, the opposition among older Cuban Americans to
allow normal relations with Cuba will crumble.
