St. Pete Times:

something ominous and unpredictable is brewing in Florida, and a growing number of Republicans are starting to consider the unthinkable: [Crist] could lose his campaign for U.S. Senate. … His state is losing population for the first time in 60 years. Unemployment and foreclosures are soaring. Taxes haven’t dropped like a rock as he promised, and Florida remains one hurricane away from bankruptcy. County Republican parties are openly revolting against Crist, while a charismatic young rival, Marco Rubio, is being hailed on the cover of William F. Buckley’s National Review magazine as the future of the GOP.
