McLaughlin Group weighs in on Rubio/Crist race

The McLaughlin Group this weekend made predictions about the Rubio/Crist Senate race. Their conclusions? Pat Buchanan, Eleanor Clift and Monica Crowley all say the odds are with Marco Rubio. John McLaughlin and Clarence Page say Charlie Crist.

"Rubio has the momentum and he has the time to do it," Buchanan said, adding Crist is on the wrong side of social and cultural issues. "That's a strong conservative state." Both Crowley and Buchanan mentioned Crist's attempts to distance himself from Obama and previous support of the stimulus package. Said Clift: "Charlie Crist is in trouble."

Next Phase: The rats start deserting the sinking ship. Watch for staunch Crist supporters to start being nice to Rubio people. Watch for them to start wanting to "have lunch" with the Rubio people...

2:07 It's happening already!

I gotta go-another free lunch.

Well, now that Crist has a national race on his hands and he's on the wrong side of it, how is it going to look when Crist has to govern through his first session with the WHOLE country watching his ever move. I can not wait until Jan. 11th when we in Pinellas finally get our voives heard, and we can be counted like Pasco, Palm Beach, Lee, Highlands, etc.
Power to the people!!!!!

Crist, Lemieux, and Greer's political careers will soon be over.

With the addition of these two malignant rightwing TV gasbags annointing him senator, Boy Marco can now quit active campaigning. Charlie likely to pull this primary out in a squeaker but will be so bloodied that even Meek will look good to most moderate voters.

[Marco is going to win]

Hey Harvey lighten up!

There are many others that don't agree with you.

Rubio and Sanson - two peas in a pod. They both seek public office to line their own pockets. Check both of their backgrounds carefully.

[Florida Republicans Against Crist!]

Now and all the way till August 24th, LIBERAL Crist and his supporters will try an paint Rubio and his supporters as RIGHT WING RADICALS! I say I rather be radical right then looney left! Ahhhhhhhhh the crist camp... The gift that keep's on giving!

Hey, you little stooge at 5:17, that's an old, tired talking point that no one has ever cared about. Call RPOF and ask them to give you a new one.

I hear the popular one they're spreading around these days is something about Rubio sponsoring some Jim Crowe-like law when he was a freshman representative.

Now, run along and go cause some trouble for the little fascist.

Idiot sycophants.

Will someone tell me how Florida is a strongly conservative state? It's a swing state pure and simple. Floridians aren't as socially conservative as some think especially outside the northern part.

Everyone knows Rubio will win the PCREC straw poll. No mystery there. It's a set-up. RECs are not reflective of the Republican primary. Most primary voters don't even know what an REC is.
