Hot Damn: Rubio Takes Lead On Captain Tangerine
The numbers are around what Rasmussen found last week, so there's a comforting confirmation here.
Republican Marco Rubio has nudged ahead of independent Charlie Crist in Florida’s nationally watched U.S. Senate race in a hypothetical three-way matchup with Democrat Kendrick Meek, according to a Mason-Dixon poll released Saturday.
Rubio led Crist in the poll 38 percent to 33 percent, with 18 percent for Meek and 11 percent undecided. …
Crist’s fate depends on whether he attracts large numbers of Democratic voters in the general election, the poll found. The results indicate that Meek is gaining support among Democrats, which could draw votes away from Crist and give Rubio an advantage.
I know, I know: It's early. And, as Mr. Wolf says in his guest appearance on Sesame Street, let's not start soaping each other's backs just yet, gentlemen.
Still, for a race that was trending towards the heartbreaker category, I personally take some joy in this.
