Rubio helped by anti-Obama mood in Fla. Senate win

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Republican Marco Rubio defeated Gov. Charlie Crist and U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek to win Florida's open Senate seat, keeping it with the GOP.

Rubio will replace George LeMieux, who was appointed to the seat by Crist last year after Mel Martinez resigned.

The victory culminates a dramatic rise for Rubio, a former speaker of the Florida House who was given little chance to defeat the once-popular Crist when he announced his candidacy last year. Rubio built momentum through tea party rallies and consistent attacks on President Barack Obama's policies.

5. Republicans, getting people to vote against their own best
interests one brain washed victim at a time. It may be time for pugvoters to remember that a falling tide lowers all ships.
