Fl Senate Race: Republican Marco Rubio opens up clear lead over Independent-Democrat Charlie "Which way the wind blows" Crist
Topics: Political News and commentariesWith just six weeks to go, it looks as though Marco Rubio has opened up an insurmountable lead over RINO/Independent/Democrat Fl. Governor Charlie Crist.
(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.More...Six weeks ahead of November 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.
The Tea Party is a loose-knit group of mostly Republicans concerned about reducing government spending and debt who are strong critics of President Barack Obama. The group is gaining support this election season.
Florida, like other states, has a large "enthusiasm gap" with Republicans far more motivated to vote in November than Democrats. The poll said 82 percent of Republicans said they are certain to vote, compared to 61 percent of Democrats.
Crist, a former Republican who turned independent, and Meek are likely splitting Democratic votes, according to the poll. (Emphasis added)
Clearly, Republicans have realized that the 'self-centered, values and principles don't matter', Charlie Crist is now and has always been far more a self-serving Democrat than Republican, and more Democrats than Republicans are willing to vote for him,given that he is likely to support Obama's agenda (Crist even supports Obama's position on the Ground Zero mosque).
