Crist scores Robert F. Kennedy endorsement
by Dara Kam | October 13th, 2010

In the midst of chatter about whether U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek should drop out of the U.S. Senate race, Gov. Charlie Crist nailed down the endorsement of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

Crist, a lifelong Republican who turned independent to avoid running against Marco Rubio in the GOP primary, will appear with Kennedy in Deerfield Beach this morning to make the endorsement announcement.

1. These Democrats are going to look ridiculous if Crist wins
by some chance, and then starts voting exactly the way his lord and master McChinless tells him to!

Crist and Meek are going to split the "non batshit crazy vote" and ensure the teabag victory

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Florida shows Rubio with 50% of the vote, up nine points from just over a week ago and his best showing in the race to date. Support for Crist, the state’s current GOP governor, has fallen to a new low of 25%, while Meek captures 19%. Three percent (3%) like another candidate in the race, and three percent (3%) more are undecided.

2. To repeat myself what a damn idiot
The 2 faced piece of shit Crist will be voting with the GOP if ever they get control. He's for sale to the highest bidder. Democrats must vote for Meek. If they do Meek can win.


Crist doesn't care about the environment, only his environment, which he wants to be Washington DC.

8. Miami Herald: Robert Kennedy Jr. to endorse Crist for Senate
Robert Kennedy Jr. to endorse Crist for Senate

AP
October 13, 2010


Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is endorsing Gov. Charlie Crist in his independent candidacy for the Senate.

Crist is expected to receive the endorsement this morning at an event with voters in Deerfield Beach.

In a statement Tuesday, the Crist campaign said the governor was endorsed by California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Schwarzenegger announced his backing in a tweet: ``I endorse Gov @charliecristfl for Senate. Great leader, works with both parties, and our country needs someone like him in DC right now.''

Kennedy's support was another step forward in building a winning coalition.

A new poll shows Crist trailing behind Republican Senate candidate Marco Rubio. The Quinnipiac University poll put Rubio ahead with 44 percent of the vote, compared to 30 percent for Crist and 22 percent for Democratic candidate Kendrick Meek.

.....





From the LA Times yesterday:

A new Public Policy Polling survey released Tuesday found Rubio leading the field with 44%, Crist at 33% and Meek at 21%.

When the matchup is limited to Rubio and Crist, however, the two are knotted at 46% each.




It's crunch time in Florida.

9. Crist would probably win if it was close
because less people would sit on their hands as they're planning to do now.

What a mess.
