There is no where to hide from his picture, his voice, his marxism. But who is speaking for us? Oh, sure, plenty of us here on FR, on BTR and on terrestrial talk radio. But of those running for office, who speaks for us? I can't say he speaks for you, but he definitely speaks for me, and to me. Lt. Col.

But the invitation topped with bold-faced names is for Marco Rubio, the upstart candidate for the U.S. Senate daring to challenge the popular Gov. Charlie Crist for the GOP nomination. Rubio has been mostly raising money over the Internet. Crist has been attending swanky events almost nightly this month. Their lopsided fundraising battle and poll ratings suggest Rubio's campaign will not end well, but the former Miami lawmaker posted a...

Charlie Crist appears to be the rising star in the Sunshine State. Mr. Crist won a landslide election, maintains high approval ratings and was considered as a potential vice presidential choice by Republican nominee John McCain. In addition, he was even ranked the most "fiscally conservative governor in the country" by the Cato Institute - beating out even South Carolina's budget hawk Gov. Mark Sanford. Many Florida conservatives, however, have a very different hero - Marco Rubio. washingtontimes.com http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-gop/2268592/posts#comment Wed, 10 Jun 2009 10:11:34 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-gop/2265323/posts You have to see this picture.

Could Barack Obama being saying goodbye to Florida? With 350 paid staffers, 50 field offices and spending an estimated $8 million in campaign ads in the “Battle ground” Sunshine state, Obama may soon be saying goodbye to Florida. With all the money, assets and resources used in Florida there is little to show for Team Obama.

Tom Feeney and Democrat Suzanne Kosmas a "toss-up.'' Cook this summer had been describing the race as leaning Republican --- a description that indicated it was a competitive race but that the GOP had the advantage. But in a report issued last week, Cook described the race as a "toss-up,'' meaning either party has a good chance of winning. Congressional District 24, which includes part of Volusia County, is the only race in Florida that is labeled a "toss-up.''

The internet never lies. While similar combinations of Obama and suspected Veep's names lead to Go Daddy holding sites or other internet flotsam. Nelson who? Most likely democratic Florida Senator and former spaceman Bill Nelson. Maybe Obama has found the perfect running mate who can help him deliver Florida, but not secretly poison his coffee.
