Club for Growth Wields Its Club in Florida Senate Race, Backing Rubio
Susan Davis reports on politics.
The potential for an ugly Florida Senate Republican primary just got
a little bit uglier today after the antitax Club for Growth endorsed
former House Speaker Marco Rubio in his bid against party favorite, incumbent Gov. Charlie Crist.
The move, while not unexpected, raises the stakes in the August 2010
primary that had seemed at first like Crist’s to lose. The governor
remains the favored in recent polling, but Rubio has been able to
narrow the gap in both polling and fund-raising in recent weeks.
The Club for Growth’s backing will provide both grassroots support
and money for Rubio, who sits further to the right of Crist and has
more support from the GOP’s conservative flank.
