Great news for frontrunner Crist.

[RI]

The great Mason Dixon has spoken.

[Sam Spade]

Excellent.  Now we know how things stand.

[Eraserhead]

Great news for frontrunner Crist.

^^^^

Whether he will stay the frontrunner or not is another question entirely but as of right now, he clearly is.

Pubbis crying into their bibles tonight.

Pubbis crying into their bibles tonight.

The real person who should be cryin' is good ol' Mr. 19%. Yikes.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Crist is running as the defacto democrat in this race as a conservative independent

What doesn't help him at all is the fact that Crist is winning 18% of black voters.
There isn't a strong black connection with Meek because Meek supported Hillary Clinton instead of Obama, some people in the black community dislike Meek for that reason.

They know the score. They'll vote for Crist if they have to and it's starting to look like they'll have to.

[Sam Spade]

Crist the defacto Dem nominee?  really?  Check the internals.

Glad I don't live in Florida. I'd hate to have to hold my nose and vote for the douchebag, just to keep Rubio from winning. I really, really hate elections that don't require 50%.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

So Crist is the Republican's Lieberman?

[phk]

Will the D's fall below 20%?

[Lief 🗽]

Really good choice of title, TB.

[xavier110]

Really good choice of title, TB.

...definitely not the first time for Crist.

Having just relocated here, I can't say that I am too familiar with the dynamics of Florida's elections. I do think that as time goes on that Meek's numbers will slightly improve, likely finishing in the low to mid 20s as Florida Democrats come to grips with the fact that Charlie Crist is still a free-market conservative, regardless of what the Rubio camp says. Crist's special session for an off shore drilling ban is a pretty transparent political play that isn't likely to do him any favors in Florida's political climate. Overall, I have a suspicion that Rubio pulls it out. He's a skilled politicians and Crist is very good at making an ass of himself.

Burr is not widely known and in a year like this I expect him to pick up a lot more of the unallocated votes than either Democrat would.

Why, thank you! I've enjoyed it thus far (minus the considerably higher price of cigarettes in comparison to Texas).

Well you can thank the "Republican" Charlie Crist for that! He raised the tax by 1$ a pack this past year.

What were they trying to fund with the revenue? Something noble, I'm sure...
