NO WONDER THE RIGHT HATES HIM...:

Poll: Crist has commanding early lead in Fla. Senate race (Michael O'Brien, 5/19/09, The Hill)

Crist has a 53-18 lead over former state House Speaker Marco Rubio in the state's Republican primary, according to a Mason-Dixon poll released Tuesday. 29 percent of Florida voters said they were undecided.

The popular governor maintains similarly strong leads over two potential Democratic opponents.

Crist leads Rep. Kendrick Meek (D) 55-24 with 21 percent undecided, while he gains 57 percent to state Sen. Dan Gelber's (D) 22 percent with the same percentage undecided in a potential matchup.

...he's a winning nominee.
