seafan's Journal - Rubio camp furiously trying to quash speculation that Crist would beat Rubio if Meek exits race.

When the matchup is limited to Rubio and Crist, however, the two are knotted at 46% each.

George Bennett at the Palm Beach Post is reporting:

October 28, 2010

Internal tracking by Republican Marco Rubio’s campaign shows Democrat Kendrick Meek and independent Charlie Crist “in a statistical dead heat,” Rubio consultant Todd Harris said tonight in trying to knock down speculation that Crist can beat Rubio if Meek drops out.

Among those who have already voted, Harris said, the Rubio campaign’s in-house polling shows Meek with a 28-to-24 percent lead over Crist.

.....

Boy, you guys have some kind of internal polling.

Pathetic.

Quinnipiac, October 28: Crist cuts Rubio's 14-point lead to seven.

Zogby, October 25: Six points between Crist and Rubio

A Crist/Rubio matchup is the death knell for the Rubio camp and no amount of spin and obfuscation by Jeb Bush operative Todd Harris trying to protect Jeb's Chosen One will hide it.

It ain't over yet, boys.
