Florida Governor's Race

++ Rasmussen has a new poll out. Charlie Crist leads Rick Scott 42 to 40. 8% are for someone else.

++ For me the most astonishing number is that both candidates have unfavorable ratings at 51% for Scott and 50% for Crist. In the not-to-distant past,35% unfavorable meant you were at risk and 40% meant you were a dead duck. 

++This is like everyone squawking about President Obama's rating at 43-44% approval rating. No one is talking about the GOP's 33% approval rating or Congress' 13% approval rating. The old bromide that the President's approval rating affects mid-terms might have to be examined when everyone else's is so bad.
