Jeb Bush Backs Rubio Over Crist in Florida Senate Race
By Tom Diemer - Politics DailyFormer Gov. Jeb Bush has endorsed Marco Rubio for the Senate in Florida, giving an anticipated boost to the Republican hopeful in what looks like a three-ring circus of a campaign for an open seat. Gov. Charlie Crist, the Republican turned independent, holds a small lead in a Rasmussen Reports poll measuring support in a three-way contest matching him with Rubio and a Democrat, Rep. Kendrick Meek, in November. Bush, brother of former President George W. Bush (and Crist's predecessor as governor), said, "Washington is broken and Marco Rubio is the only candidate in this race that I trust to ...
Crist Education Veto Angers GOP, Shakes Up Florida Senate Race
By Jill Lawrence - Politics DailyA governor doesn't usually make national news by vetoing an education bill. But Florida Gov. Charlie Crist did so this week with a veto that allies him with teacher unions, pits him against fellow Republicans and casts uncertainty on the future of his troubled Senate race against the more conservative Marco Rubio. In the Republican Senate primary, Crist trails Tea Party favorite Rubio by an average of nearly 23 points in recent polls. He has said in the past that he won't run as an independent, but the reaction from prominent Republicans in his state raises questions about whether he can ...
Nearly Half of Voters Don't Think Obama Should Be Re-Elected
By Bruce Drake - Politics DailyA plurality of voters don't think President Obama deserves to be re-elected in 2012 and, if that election were held today, 41 percent would support the Republican candidate and 40 percent would back Obama, with 9 percent saying it depends on who the GOP candidate was and 9 percent undecided, according to a Quinnipiac University poll conducted March 16-21.

Jeb Bush: Florida Gov. Charlie Crist's Support of Stimulus 'Unforgivable'
By Tom Diemer - Politics DailySo much for the "11th Commandment." Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush says that current governor and Senate candidate Charlie Crist's support for President Obama's stimulus bill last year was "unforgivable." Bush made the remark in an interview with NewsMax, a conservative publication. "I know I'm supposed to be politically correct and I said I was neutral (in the primary) and all that," Bush said. But "I've got a problem with that." Bush, brother of one president and the son of another, has kept his distance from the Republican primary battle between Crist and former Florida House Speaker Mario ...
In Obama-GOP Match-Ups for 2012, Huckabee Is Top Contender
By Bruce Drake - Politics DailySo which Republican would do the best against President Obama if the 2012 election were held today? The answer, according to a Public Policy Polling survey conducted Sept. 18-21, is former Arkansas governor and 2008 presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, who would get 41 percent to Obama's 48 percent with 11 percent undecided. Huckabee has been the strongest candidate against Obama all six times PPP has posed the question. ...
What We Still Don't Know About Sonia Sotomayor
By Patricia Murphy - Politics DailyThis we know: Sonia Sotomayor will be the next associate justice of the Supreme Court. She will be the court's first Hispanic and its third woman. Sixty-one senators have announced they'll support the judge when the Senate votes to confirm her at 3:00 today. So she's in. (UPDATE: Sonia Sotomayor has now been confirmed in a 68-31 vote) But what don't we know about Sotomayor and the legacy of her confirmation battle? From how she'll rule on cases before the high court to the possible political fallout of her appointment, the Sotomayor episode now opens the door to several cosmic questions. Here ...
Another Bush, Another Push for Immigration Reform
By Walter Shapiro - Politics DailySometime around 6 a.m. Wednesday, the apologetic emails went out to the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) – Jeb Bush's plane had broken down and he was stuck in Maine. For want of two wings, the former Republican governor of Florida was unable to fly to Washington to give lift and luster to the release of a report calling for comprehensive immigration reform. ...
Can the Brits Show the GOP How It's Done?
By Robert Costa - Politics DailyLONDON -- Dick Cheney needs a title. "Former Vice President" limps as a Sunday morning chyron. It tells us nothing. CBS might as well paste Prince's indecipherable Love Symbol into the lower third of the screen the next time Cheney sits across from Bob Schieffer. ...
Rush Says Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney 'Hate' and 'Despise' Sarah Palin
By David Knowles - Politics DailyWell, maybe the Republican rebranding effort isn't all it was cracked up to be. Conservative radio entertainer Rush Limbaugh has surveyed the Republican party's field of prospective candidates to retake the White House in 2012, and has, apparently, decided on a favorite with a familiar-sounding name: Sarah Palin. ...
