Cheney backs Rubio in Senate bid

Conservative Republican Senate candidate Marco Rubio picked up another high-profile endorsement Thursday when former Vice President Dick Cheney said he was backing the former Florida House speaker over his primary rival Gov. Charlie Crist.

I for one, am glad....Crist sides more with Obama's cronies, than with other conservatives.

I think Rubio will walk away with this, but I'm still worried that Crist will run as an independent.

I saw something today that, in a three-way race, a poll showing Rubio at 37%, Crist at 32%, and the Dem at 22%.

Good.  Crist's iffy political point of view doesn't seem to be that big an obstacle as Governor, but he'd make a horrible (R) Senator.

I just moved to FL back in June in that time frame I got to see how much a RINO Crist is.

In fact, Cheney said he doesn't know why he keeps the R behind his name... :lmao:  Talk about getting called out.

Crist needs a can of STFU and go home. We need fewer of his type and more like Rubio...

Does anyone think his support is going to help or hurt his chance?

only those who would never have voted for Rubio will try and make hay with it. They will fail.
