Former Florida state House Speaker Marco Rubio, who is running a conservative primary challenge in the Republican Senate primary against moderate Gov. Charlie Crist, is all set to use Crist’s support for the stimulus bill against him. Rubio now has this new Web ad, tying Crist directly to President Obama:
As Greg Sargent says: “It isn’t every day that a politician seeks to turn a race into a referendum on his opponent’s support for a President with an approval rating in the 60s, but these aren’t ordinary times for today’s GOP.”
Obama might be popular with most Americans right now, but he’s unpopular with the people who count in this race: The folks who will be voting in that Republican primary.
