Marco Who?

Who is Marco Rubio? It is likely few know. More inside the state of Florida are learning his name, much to the dismay of incumbent Republic Governor Charlie Crist.  Latest polls suggest that Crist will not survive the primary for re-election. Good news or bad news for Republicans? Time will tell.

It seems that it is bad news for incumbents of either party. Likely it is worse for Dems, because they hold power and have attempted to impose unpopular policies on the country. But Repubs are not immune to the anger.

Here is Rasmussen’s commentary on the Florida race:

Former state House Speaker Marco Rubio continues to lengthen his lead over Governor Charlie Crist in the contest for Florida’s Republican Senate nomination.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely Republican Primary voters finds Rubio leading Crist by 18 points, 54% to 36%. Four percent (4%) prefer some other candidate, and seven percent are undecided.

Those figures reflect a five point increase in support for Rubio compared to a month ago. Support for Crist has changed little over the past month.

In December, the two GOP hopefuls were tied at 43% apiece. The new findings mark Rubio’s best showing to date and Crist’s worst. The good news for Crist is that Florida Republicans don’t pick their nominee until an August 24 primary.
