Marco Rubio has a new ad in the Florida Senate race. On the surface it seems like a boilerplate ad calling for change in Washington — but one particular line seems to send a clear message.
“Washington isn’t just broke, it’s broken. But it won’t get better if we keep electing politicians who will say or do anything just to hold office,” says Rubio. “Government is out of touch. Spending is out of control. Foreign debt threatens our economic and national security. And typical politicians just don’t get it.”
Hmm, “politicians who will say or do anything.” Could Rubio — who is running against a governor who was a Republican but switched to independent for the general election — be referring to anyone in particular?
The TPM Poll Average gives Rubio the lead with 39.1%, followed by Crist at 30.6%, and Democrat Kendrick Meek with 21.2%.
