Another reason to not vote for Marco Rubio: Karl Rove told MSNBC he gave a $1,000 contribution to the Rubio campaign. Rubio raised $1 million during the third fundraising quarter. That isn't enough to compete with Gov. Charlie Crist's fundraising prowess. During the second quarter: Crist raised $4.3 million in 50 days.
Rubio wants to be the Barry Goldwater of Florida. Goldwater preached conservzative principles and ran hard to the Right. Memo to Rubio: Goldwater lost to Lyndon Johnson in the 1964 election, by a total of 468 to 52 electorial college votes. Democrats have a significant voter registration advantage. Florida voters are rejecting the Karl Rove brand of conservatism. Rubio believes Republicans lost the last two election cycles because they were viewed as too liberal. That is an intectually dishonest assessment. Nancy Pelosi isn't House Speaker because of her conservative principles. Republicans lost because their trickle down tax policies and neoconservative foreign policy was a failure.
