Reply #10: Howdy DCBob,I know the question wasn't aimed at me but......

I reside in a smallish, very conservative Central Fl. Cow Town and I'll say I'm a tad suspicious of "Rubio-mania". While I can't speak for the rest of the state I DO NOT see the groundswell for Mr. American Express that I'm told (via media and polls) supposedly exists. Obviously the big money men loves them some Toadio but aside from a few bumper stickers most of the tight asses here in town are being rather tight lipped about him. Hmmmmmm. Despite what the local RW radio people have said this year's Tea Bag extravaganza drew LESS people than last year (I know, I "infiltrated" both :-) ) and was basically a snooze fest. One pic made the local cat box liner, which resembled an ad for power scooters or retirement villas, with no accompanying article.

That being said I was hoping Charlie-in-Charge would stay an (R) betting that the IRS/Fed investigation would derail Marco's campaign, allowing him to claim the primary but resulting in major voter turn off. Now it seems an like an orchestrated move by the (R)'s to chase him out of the party so every one can rally around Jeb's minion.

Interesting days ahead for sure.

p.s. I'm signed up to do some grunt work for Kendrick Meek late July, and hopefully, the months leading up to the election. :-)
