Rubio’s Surge

Two polls – Rasmussen and a private poll by Tony Fabrizo — show Marco Rubio gaining a double-digit lead on Gov. Charlie Crist (R-Fla.) in the GOP primary for U.S. Senate. The incredible aspect of Rubio’s steady progress is that it has come without paid TV media or a fundraising advantage. Blog buzz, Twitter, Facebook, talk radio, local activism fueled by Tea Parties — all of that has turned Rubio into the sudden frontrunner for a race he was encouraged to drop out of.
