Tallahassee, FL (AHN) - The Club for Growth endorsed former Florida House Speaker Marco Rubio on Monday, joining a slew of conservative groups and politicians who have bucked the GOP and refused to support the party nominee for next year's Senate race, Gov. Charlie Crist.
In a statement, Club for Growth President Chris Chocola called Rubio a "proven champion of economic liberty," and Crist "the wrong direction for our economy and our nation."
Either Rubio and Crist would easily win a general election against the leading Democratic contender in the race, U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek (D-FL), Chocola added, but the "question now is what kind of Republican will Florida send to Washington next year: a pro-growth Republican with a record of fiscal conservatism or a big-government Republican with a record of tax increases."

Good news. I might have to send Rubio another donation.
I just did
Me too.
Rubio will be a big part of the future of the GOP and conservatism.
Jump on the band wagon NOW, everyone!

Crist is NOT the party nominee..there’s this pesky little thing called a primary...
Good-time Charlie has spent the last couple of weeks trying to distance himself from his earlier embraces of nObama.
Ah, the embrace. Way back when the Dems took charge and the so-called “moderates” were gloating over how dead conservatism was and repeating the mantra that Americans desire more government spending and intrusion in their lives.
Has Crist gone on the record as saying he will support and work for the Republican nominee in the general election?
I met former Speaker of the Florida House, Marco Rubio, the other night at a Palm Bay fundraiser, and I have to say all the political cliches. He's the real deal, the whole package, and he will make us all proud by his unabashed and unapologetic Conservatism.
I thought he was going to kiss Obama when I viewed the video.
I don’t know that the question has even been asked of him. Maybe someone who is following the race more closely can answer that.
