Marco Rubio has further solidified his support among Washington conservatives for the Florida Republican Senate primary. Rubio’s campaign has announced the endorsement of Rep. Tom Price (R-GA), head of the conservative Republican Study Committee.
Price’s statement doesn’t directly mention Gov. Charlie Crist, the GOP moderate who was the initial frontrunner in this race, but has a clear attack on Crist for supporting the stimulus. And Price hints that we can’t trust Crist on opposing Obama on health care, either: “I have full confidence Marco will stand with Republicans against big government disasters like the stimulus and ObamaCare. The last thing we need in the Senate is someone who will abandon our Party and undercut our efforts to limit government and take care of taxpayer dollars.”
