Diaz-Balart Brothers Endorse Crist over Rubio

Marco Rubio can collect all the endorsements of the Mike Huckabees and Jim DeMints of the world he wants, but Charlie Crist seems to be wracking up support from politicians who have been actually voted into office the Florida electorate. Today, Crist's campaign announced the backing of Miami-area Reps. Lincoln and Mario Diaz-Balart. 

The endorsement gives Crist inroads into Miami's Cuban-American Republicans, a segment Rubio will need to win if he hopes to make it past the Republican primary. 

Rubio might still have some hope to get the backing of Miami's other Cuban-American representative, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen. Rubio got his start in politics by interning for Ros-Lehtinen, and her husband, Dexter Lehtinen, cohosted a fundraiser for Rubio last month.

Are you an idiot? Huckabee is a former governor and Demint is a sitting United States Senator. Last time I checked, both those positions are "elected."

This endorsement is irrelevant. They endorsed Mccollum versus another cuban Martinez in 2004. They actually worked hard for McCollum going as far as to accuse Martinez of being soft on Cuba. Result? MARTINEZ GOT 80% in MIAMI DADE AND MCCOLLUM CAME IN THIRD!
The Diaz Balarts are impotent and Rubio has a stronger backing than they do.

Kyle your anti-Rubio zeal is gross. Get over it.
