Will 2010 Florida US Senate Race be similar to 2004 PA US Senate Race.

It will be different.  Rubio will be nominated and then go on to win the seat.  Whereas Specter had the full force of a republican presidential election and the president at his side, Crist only has the support of the senatorial committee for the primary.  Without a leader of the party, other members will stray and support Rubio.  Crist also gave full-throated support to Obama's stimulus package and embraced Obama.  That's a killer in the primary.  Once Crist loses the primary, Rubio will immediately get the support of the committee and beat Meek handily.

I guess I like Rubio's politics more than Crist's, but I am nervous regarding his prospects against Meek.  Crist would be a lock.

Rubio would be a lock too.  He's hispanic and we need to move him into a national position of power, president someday, so that we make hispanics a loyal voting contingent to our party like blacks are to the democratic party.
