Warning Signs Abound for Charlie Crist
Good on Lee County Republican voters. There was a straw poll in this all important battleground for the GOP Senate nomination. The straw poll was put on by the Republican Executive Committee. The result? Rubio crushed Crist.
Lee County’s Republican Executive Committee’s straw poll last week that had members preferring U.S. Senate candidate Marco Rubio over Gov. Charlie Crist by a 60-11 margin sent ripples around the state’s political waters.
It’s hardly a fraction of Lee County voters, or even a full committee, which can have two members for each of Lee County’s 170 voting precincts. But it’s active Republicans, and was enough to spur a fast response from U.S. Rep. Connie Mack IV, R-Fort Myers, assuring recipients that despite the vote he believes most Southwest Florida Republicans support Crist.
Note that Connie Mack, IV is supporting Crist. Mack’s wife, you will recall, voted for cap and trade. Crist supported the stimulus and, one can reasonably expect, will one day flip-flop on cap and trade.
We should really take out Connie Mack, IV when we take out Charlie Crist next year.
