Florida Senate Candidate Marco Rubio

Karl Rove on Monday confirmed that he has endorsed Marco Rubio for the US Senate over Governor Charlie Crist.

From NBC News (in a truthful article for a change) reports that Rove admitted contributing $1000 to Rubio’s Campaign.

Over the past few weeks, Florida GOP Gov. Charlie Crist has found himself being put on the defensive more and more in the primary thanks to the challenge by ex-state House Speaker Marco Rubio. While Crist has financially overwhelmed Rubio to date, there are many Republicans — particularly those in Flordia that are close to former GOP Gov. Jeb Bush — who have publicly become more comfortable airing their skepticism about Crist in public. One of those Republicans with close ties to the Bush family, Karl Rove, has signaled his preference with his wallet.

Can Charlie Crist be trusted? As early as last fall Governor Crist was planning to endorse Rudy Giuliani until it appeared that Rudy’s Campaign was losing ground to McCain. Did McCain promise a position as running mate on the Republican Ticket in 2008? Only Charlie and McCain their insiders know for sure.

Charlie Crist is on the agenda for the Orange County Lincoln Day Dinner, just below Giuliani as the guest of honor. But an endorsement is not on the menu.

Crist did not appear at the dinner — he changed his plans several days ago, sources said — but his presence was certainly felt. Giuliani aides were visibly upset Saturday at the news that the popular Florida governor would be backing McCain.

Giuliani campaign sources said Crist pledged his endorsement to Giuliani in the early fall, when McCain’s campaign appeared dead and Giuliani was leading the state by double digits. But at the time, McCain supporters leaned on Crist to hold back and wait until after the New Hampshire primary. McCain had campaigned for Crist when he was seeking the Republican nomination for governor, and had hoped Crist would return the favor.

…

My guess is that Crist is nothing more than a political Whore.

He’s in good company with McCain.

Michelle has no admiration for Charlie either.
