He can win. It is very possible he can win. If the scandal that Rubio is involved with grows legs and if the Democrat is still low in the polls, many Democrats might decide that Crist is preferred over Rubio. I would give the odds to Rubio right now but 6 months is a long time.

Moderates getting the boot? Me thinks you are misinformed, confused or just ignorant..........the moderates are getting elected.

Anyone can win, but I am still placing my money (based on the polls, if you can trust them at all) taken over the weekend: Rubio still wins in November. Remember the blacks and Obama, you don't think the Cubans will be out in full force? Of course I will add, they usually do vote and are quite often conservative. They know why they left their native country.

I will also ask, how did the GOP dump him? There was simply a good viable candidate that started getting attention. Crist is a sore looser, cut and dry..

Crist is only "dumped" if he was the incumbent holding the office. That isn't the case here whatsoever.

I like how Republicans are the only true patriots and democrats want to turn this country into the Soviet Union. Think about how many Democratic Presidents there have been and how many of them served our country. Or how many never turned our country into the Socialist state you think they aspire to. Or how many Republican Presidents have never ceased the Socialist programs in our country that do exist.

I'll be waiting for your answers...

It appears the race is really up for grabs, the poll I saw a couple days ago had Rubio ahead by about 6 points. I don't remember what poll it was or maybe it didn't say.
