whispers of internal polling in Fla
Rubio is moving up fast. Charlie’s people getting worried. He’s in a fight.
Phil,
Yeah, read the same thing on RedState yesterday
Crist has been too cozy with Obama – not a great stance if you’re running in a Republican primary when Obama continues to move left and GOP attitudes toward Obama continue to harden.
plus Rubio is extremely well spoken and the more people begin to see of him the more they will be impressed.
Sorry Charlie.
Not for nothing but I spoke with one of the consultants of Christie’s campaign a few weeks ago. It’s the same firm that’s running Kasich’s campaign in OH and believe it or not, Joe Wilson’s.
He is confident Christie will win.
Here was the conversation “Will Christie win?” “Oh yeah, definitely”.
Crist should take on Nelson in 2012
Crist should go away, switch parties, and leave us alone.
or run for reelection as governor.
We’re hearing more and more whispers here in Tx that KBH might very well opt to stay in the senate. Primaries can be tough. If you are strong in the general but can’t get out of the primary…..just saying.
Dont miss Krauthammer today, he skewed the hope and change foreign policy naivette in full view to all including the Russians. Here is a a taste of what it says; and yes this will leave a red mark and should also bring a red face but obviously wont:
The Russian leadership, hardly believing its luck, needs no interpreter to understand that when the Obama team clownishly rushes in bearing gifts and “reset” buttons, there is nothing ulterior, diabolical, clever or even serious behind it. It is amateurishness, wrapped in naivete, inside credulity. In short, the very stuff of Nobels.
LOL
I was stuck in traffic due to the Obumbler yesterday. He had a large group of protesters – numbering thousands, per the SF Police Dept.

Not what I am hearing. Kay and Rick hate each other. Common sense is unlikely to prevail here. Expect a nasty primary with open wounds. Fortunately the Democrats only have Curly and Moe to choose from as their bench is depleted as Larry went to go get a sandwich.
I don’t have sources but I think Christie will win too.

Was it the rainbow warriors? What do gay protestors look like en masse? Dont answer that, I dont wish to know. But in SF, who is not in slavish devotion to this Jim Jones clone?
Gateway Pundit has a good picture of the demonstrators in SF.
13…the Russians have been desperate to get back to world Super-power status, and wow, what incredible luck that they will get it without firing a shot!
15…LOL, what about Shemp? Interesting 3 Stooges trivia…the age old question, who replaced who? Shemp or Curley? The answer is both. The original stage act was Moe, Larry, and Shemp. Then when they contracted to do the films, Shemp already had another obligation, so Moe brought on his brother Curley. Curley destroyed his health with Hollywood lifestyle, and when he could no longer continue, Shemp returned to replace him.
Gary, they absolutely hate each other. Still, the safe play is for KBH to stay in the senate if she wants to stay in office. She’s at best only 50-50 if she goes for the governor’s mansion. Not the cake walk she thought she’s have. I’d argue it’s uphill.
I don’t have any inside info on what she does. She did make a point of saying publically the other day that “some are urging her to stay in the senate”.

2012 RAS GOP Prez poll
Huck 29
Romney 24
Palin 18
Still too far out. One thing I know for sure. I hope John Thune runs.
phoenix,
I’m hoping the same thing.
18. link?
If Palin does not run than Romney is history
I have no idea, GM/ All I know is Code Pink aka Code Fat. I have had encounters with those individuals.
Romney is down due to Romenycare – how could the Rs go with another swelout on conservative ideology.
Huck is the best in that group, but its still a long way off. I still would want Thune.
Palin does best among young people. Huckabee does best among old people.
Bloomberg may be endorsing for NJ-Gov soon:

“Huck is the best in that group”
This makes me want to cry.
In my humble opinion, there is no question for which Mike Huckabee is the correct answer. The guy actually acted like a Democrat in office in Little Rock, and loves to spend money. UGH.
That should be the DEM leans further to the right than the RINO in NY23.
