Crist did not lose to Rubio in the primary, he dropped out before the primary.

I doubt he would have won, that is why he switched...he knew he was not going to win..

His term has 4 more years. That's a lifetime in politics. A lot can happen. No way to predict at this point. The state will continue to become more Democratic, if a lot of baby boomers relocate to Florida from the Midwest and Northeast. That's a negative for him. So is the ticking timebomb of sexaul preference.

what makes you think, the baby boomers are going to make the country more Democrat?? I happen to know several baby boomers, including my oldest kids and they are anything but liberals, they are not even Democrats. Some may have been in their younger days but are changing daily.

You always stereotype people, except yourself. Not everyone is as limited in their analysis. I guess the opposite of "liberal", in discussions on this forum, is "racist."

I certainly hope not. I will do what I can to support a better candidate... which would be anyone else.

It is my expectation Scott will be ousted as well.

What are you talking about and what does racism have to do with the baby boomers? You said the baby boomers might be locating to Fl and thus Rubio could get defeated cause baby boomers are liberal or that is what it sounded like. I simply mentioned baby boomers are not necessarily liberal or Democrats, with no reference to race or anything else. To me, that doesn't enter the picture, why would you think something else?

Rubio could lose, but only because Floirda is so fickle.
