The new Rasmussen poll of the Florida Republican Senate primary confirms that the race is getting closer between the frontrunner, the moderate Gov. Charlie Crist, and the more conservative former state House Speaker Marco Rubio.
The numbers: Crist 49%, Rubio 35%, with a ±4.5% margin of error. Back in August, Crist had been ahead by 53%-31%.
This is nearly identical to this morning's Quinnipiac poll, which has Crist ahead by 50%-35%.

Go Rubio! A De Mint/Palin candidate for a *different* tomorrow!
Obama-loving mainstream Crist is a hideous alien to be violently propelled from the moribund party's exploding belly!! For many months now, O.T. {heart} Rubio!! Could a Beck endorsement be coming (or has that already transpired)?
