Lets not kid ourselves. The RSCC, RNC elites love Crist. Steele, Cornyn, McConnel and the DC Republican elites did everything to dump on Rubio. The former chair of the FlGOP...now awaiting jail time, tried his best to run Rubio off.

Meek should have demanded Crist drop out LOL.
Rubio has a proven tract record. He is in for a rough time with sitting Republican Senators that want to keep their little kingdoms.

They may have loved him, but there is no reason to continue loving someone who jumps ship and will caucus with the opposing party - in this case, unlike in others, Crist literally stabbed all of those who backed him in the back, rather than just losing to a candidate they didn't prefer in a primary. Previously Crist was also campaigning anti-stimulus, pro-family, pro-life, etc. He's totally flipped on everything. Oddly enough, Crist's entry into the race initially is likely is why no higher profile Democrats bothered to go for it given Crist's huge popularity at the time...given what he tried to do to torpedo a Republican victory, it is kind of justice in of itself that he, himself, intially gave a more conservative Republican an advantage back from the time he was a Republican. By the way...what is the "RSCC" (or do you mean NRSC?), and what evidence do you have that Steele or the RNC was ever involved in the race?
