Rubio's Lead: "Commanding and Insurmountable"
— Ace

For this one: It's okay to get a little cocky.

Marco Rubio has built a "commanding and insurmountable'' lead in Florida's three-way Senate race, a new poll has found -- even without the latest political machinations in the race.
The poll -- which comes on the heels of revelations that former President Bill Clinton last week reportedly urged Democrat Kendrick Meek to get out of the race -- shows the Republican Rubio leading the field with 45 percent, followed by Gov. Charlie Crist at 28 percent and Meek at 21 percent. Only 6 percent of voters in the Mason-Dixon Polling & Research Inc. poll said they were undecided.
"There is simply no mathematical formula by which Crist or Meek can approach Rubio's 45 percent support level," said Mason-Dixon managing director Brad Coker.

More at the link, including Clinton saying Crist promised to caucus with the Democrats, which Crist of course denies. He's going to "caucus with the people of Florida," whatever the hell that means.

1 We need an ewok poster for this one, Ace. Maybe a discussion of Marco Rubio, Sean Bielat, and ball-dipping ewoks? Just brainstorming.

2 He's going to "caucus with the people of Florida," whatever the hell that means.

Well, since he'll be unemployed next year, I think that means hanging around bus stations looking for change.

13 It doesn't matter how cocly I get. I live in Texas so no one cares who I want to win in Florida races and I already voted early and sent a few other people out to vote. And I voted against Lloyd Dogget and he's probably still going to win. "Dr. Donna" only started campaigning on the air a week ago.

19 The Dems want to strangle Rubio in the crib because he'll be a star once he gets to the Senate, and likely will run for VP or President in the near future.

I was in Florida last December and saw him give an interview entirely in Spanish. I don't know what the hell he said but it was convincing.

The importance of this cannot be overstated.

It's not only very important to elect the conservative Marco Rubio (who happens to be hispanic and handsome), it's important to defeat Charlie Crist.

Crist needs to be defeated to send a message to all the cocksuckers in the GOP that his type of nincompoopery will not be tolerated. It sends that message to Specter, Schwarzenegger, etc.

Well, since he'll be unemployed next year, I think that means hanging around bus stations looking for change.

Probably, since his independently wealthy wife will probably kick his ass to the curb. Unless she well and truely loves the Man from Orange.

Hopefully he leaves Tallahassee before asking for spare change. ;">Dude, I was once Governor, now I'm asking your for spare change, even a dollar or two? Man, I'd feel a twinge of guilt, turning him down.

I'm still waiting to try out my new line the next time someone asks me for spare change:

Oh, wow, I was about to ask you if you had any spare change. What bad luck that is!
