From Fred Barnes:

Bush is also critical of Governor Charlie Crist, who abandoned the race against Rubio in the Republican primary to run for senator as an independent. โ€œItโ€™s all about him,โ€ Bush says. โ€œItโ€™s not about anything else. . . . Governor Crist organizes his life around his personal ambitions. . . . He doesnโ€™t have a set of guiding principles to share with people. This is a year where people want you to say what your core beliefs are, and painting in brighter, bolder colors instead of pastels is the way to go. Which is very encouraging to me personally.โ€
Bush figures Crist will finish third behind Rubio (โ€œMarco wins going awayโ€) and Democrat Kendrick Meek. Rubio, the former Florida House speaker, is Bushโ€™s ideal candidate. โ€œHeโ€™s unique in the sense that heโ€™s very eloquent and heโ€™s cheerful and joyful. He has a wonderful attitude, and people are depressed, and he lifts peopleโ€™s spirits up.โ€ In short, Rubio is a lot like another Florida politician, one whoโ€™s not running for anything this year.
