Marco Rubio, who was trailing badly in the polls, has now pulled even with Florida Governor Charlie Crist in their bid for the US Senate. Rubio is a true conservative while Crist is not quite so. Crist supported the stimulus bill and was at events with Barack Obama, facts that Rubio has used to tie Crist to the Democrat leader.
This will be interesting and many Republicans will be watching closely to see how this turns out because it might portend the future for many of them.
Democrats have to be interested as well because if Crist’s ties to Obama turn out to hurt him then many Democrats will be less inclined to believe they can use Obama’s coattails to remain in office.
They should already know that he is not as powerful as he once was by the Virgina and New Jersey Gubernatorial elections. Obama campaigned hard for both Democrats who lost miserably.
Political season is just around the corner and it is going to be quite interesting indeed.
