Crist maintains his lead in all polls but Rasmussen.

Another sure Republican seat lost to the teabagging fanatics. You have to love it. Wait until KY and NV go blue. Then there will be a lot of weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Crist maintains a WIDE lead without Rasmussen. On the aggregate chart for the race, un-ticking Rasmussen from the filter shows the race as 38% Crist 29% Rubio. Rasmussen alone shows it at 36% Crist 35% Rubio.

I still think Rubio pulls this out simply because of cash advantage. Crist only raised $1.8 million and i would imagine most of that is from Dem donors. Meanwhile, Rubio raised $4.5 million and will probably raise much more in August and Sept.
Those Dem donors as well as some Rep one's are going to want to know whom he is going to caucus with before they vote for him. If he doesn't announce that, he will shed a significant amount of support from both sides of the aisle.

Despite these numbers, adding Greene to the mix will make it really tough for Rubio. Dem leadership dislikes Greene and won't support him. Big Dem backers are already supporting Crist and will move to him in a big way if self-funding Greene is the Dem candidate. Also neither the DSCC nor the WH have any obligation to support like they do Meek, nor expend any precious resources to help him.
Lastly, once voters become aware that he's just a guy who hangs out with Mike Tyson, the Washington Madame and Lindsay Lohan, with no real guiding principles who's trying to buy an election they'll drop him like a burning stone. Meek is a real candidate with real values that resonate with base Dems. Greene is not.

Pollster is in error: McCollum polls 27% not 37% against Sink. See Quinnipiac's press release.

If Crist win in November he is going to be the perfect choice to replace Joe Biden on the Democratic ticket in 2012.A Obama in Crist ticket would guarantee a victory in FL.The GOP would go nuts if Obama choose Crist as the VP,think about it,Crist could draw moderates,and disappointed Republicans,it would be very difficult for the GOP to reach 270 if Florida becomes solid blue,which it would if Obama chooses Crist.

Despite these numbers, adding Greene to the mix will make it really tough for Rubio. Dem leadership dislikes Greene and won't support him.
But the poll shows Greene with 4% more support from Dems then Meek. This shows just the opposite of what you say.

Not having Meek as the nominee will hurt Sink. For that reason alone, and because Greene is a bit of a sleazebag, I'm hoping Meek wins the nomination.

OTOH, if it were this Jeff Greene, I'd be all for him:

Crist has been running advertising campaigns since April. It was called the Gulf Oil Spill and he came out a winner on it.

I really hope Christ wins this one. What we need is more middle of the road candidates. I'm tired of candidates who are on the extreme end of either spectrum.
