Gov. Charlie Crist (R-FL) is presenting to the public a mocking “gift” regarding his rival in the Republican Senate primary, former state House Speaker Marco Rubio, to commemorate Valentine’s Day weekend: An imaginary box of chocolates called the “Rubio Valentine’s Day Sampler.”

The sample box, an online gag posted by the Crist campaign, likens the supposedly conservative Rubio to a box of chocolates, borrowing from the Forrest Gump movie to say that Rubio isn’t as genuinely conservative as he lets on: “Marco Rubio Is Like A Box of Chocolates…You Never Know What You’re Gonna Get.”
