Just as it did for Joe Lieberman, ditching party identification to appeal to us UnPartisans is working so far for Charlie Crist:
Washington (CNN) – Gov. Charlie Crist leads in a hypothetical three-way race for Senate in Florida, a week after he decided to leave the Republican primary and run as an independent.
Crist enjoys a six point advantage over Republican Marco Rubio and Democrat Kendrick Meek in a new Mason-Dixon poll of 625 registered voters surveyed by telephone.
Crist captures 38 percent in the new poll, followed by Rubio with 32 percent and Meek with 19 percent…
Gee, I wonder what that means…. Could it indicate that, just as Connecticut rejected the MoveOn.org extremism that chased Joe out of his party in 2006, Floridians are sending the message that the DeMint/Tea Party path won’t be a winner for Republicans in November?
Maybe.

Sanford would do better than that.
And when Lindsey Graham and John McCain endorse Rubio, that’ll be different than the Tea Party/DeMint endorsement, right?

Rubio is still big on drilling off the Florida coast. This isn’t a good time to be talking much about that.
I’m sorry, I thought I saw the word “extremism” somewhere in your blog entry…there must have been a typo or something, it almost looks like you were saying the US Senator who said things like “Barack Obama hasn’t always put country first” was the VICTIM of extremism. But surely I read wrong.
