Charlie Crist lost a straw poll to Marco Rubio in the governor’s home county. Here, via the St. Peterburg Times, is a snapshot of a Floridian who says she loves Crist – but won’t vote for him:

Many of the people lining up to cast secret ballots against Crist on Monday night at Tucson’s restaurant were the party activists who know him best.
“I volunteered for Charlie for nine years. I love Charlie as a person. If he was here, I would give him a big hug. He actually called me about this (straw poll) yesterday,” said Wilna Varney of Largo, who voted for Rubio. “But I’m a more conservative person, and I’m going to support the more conservative candidate.”
