Less then a Yr to go and Rubio is closing the gap dramatically in FL primary; Huckabee: Rubio could be President

The new Daily Kos/Research 2000 poll of the Florida Republican Senate primary finds conservative former state House Speaker Marco Rubio catching up on moderate Gov. Charlie Crist.

The numbers: Crist 47%, Rubio 37%. Way back in January, Crist was ahead by 57%-11%.

Crist became vulnerable to a conservative primary challenge when he endorsed the stimulus package, and even hugged President Obama. He has since denied that he endorsed it, despite all evidence to the contrary.

(GOP12).Mike Huckabee to WOKV's Rich Jones at a book signing in Orlando yesterday:

".... I think the guy could be President one day. I don't want to doom him, but I think he's got all the goods.

.... I expect him to end up getting the nomination to be Florida's next Senator, and one of America's future Presidents."
