FL-Sen: Rubio Takes Lead Over Crist in New Q-Poll

Quinnipiac (1/20-24, registered voters, 10/12/09 - 10/18/09 in parens)

Charlie Crist (R): 44 (50)
Marco Rubio (R): 47 (35)
Undecided: 8 (12)
(MoE: ±3.8%)

Kendrick Meek (D): 36 (31)
Charlie Crist (R): 48 (51)
Undecided: 12 (14)

Kendrick Meek (D): 35 (36)
Marco Rubio (R): 44 (33)
Undecided: 19 (28)
(MoE: ±2.5%)

Rasmussen had this race tied back in December, but Quinnipiac, I believe, is the first pollster to show Rubio with a lead.

1. The poll omitted one of the most important opponents of Rubio!

Castro!

That's who Rubio is running against in S Florida.

2. Rubio is Meek's best bet.

I think Rubio could let some hyper conservatism slip through and make one heck of a gaffe. Otherwise, the only chance we got with Crist (if Meek is what we get as a candidate - and he's nearly certain to lose for several reasons) is if (and this is speaking as a pretty open Gay man myself) he somehow is outed as being Gay. It's the lying that he's Gay that would upset many, not the fact if he was Gay, although many Repubs wouldn't vote for him in the primary if he was.

This is going to be a nauseating race because I just don't see Meek being that energizing.
