FL-Sen: Rubio May Challenge Crist
http://www.swingstateproject.com/diary/4775/flsen-rubio-may-challenge-crist

A key player in Florida changes his tune:

His approval ratings may be sky high, but if Charlie Crist runs for the U.S. Senate, he still could face a serious primary challenge from former state House Speaker Marco Rubio.
In an about-face, the conservative Miami Republican said Tuesday that Crist's candidacy would not deter him from running if he decides to jump into the race. Rubio said that in 25 days he raised $250,000 for an exploratory campaign for the Senate and will make a decision within weeks.

"My decision, which I'll announce shortly, will not be predicated on what anybody else does," Rubio said in a phone interview from Washington, where he gave a speech and had meetings this week. He brushed off suggestions that he may run for attorney general, saying he's passionate about federal issues.

Oh please, oh please, oh please....
