A Rasmussen poll shows that Crist could win the Florida Senate race if he can retain the bounce after switching from the Republican ticket. He now commands 38% support to Republican Marco Rubio’s 34% and Democrat Kendrick Meek’s 17%. (11% are undecided.) This erases a 7 point lead for Rubio and has the Dems, who dislike their candidate, thinking about offering Crist a deal if he promises to caucus with the Democrats.
If Crist pulls this off, it will signal to the GOP that it cannot promote true Tea Party candidates, as despite their real platform, they are viewed as too conservative by many. However, all of this remains to be seen as Crist's lead may be temporary, especially if he makes a deal with the Dems.
