As a former campaign strategist, I say give Marco a break. If you do not have a primary now is the time to lay low hone the message and get ready for the all out race which will take place after Labor Day.
The things that caused Marco to surge during 2009-early 2010 are still there. Marco’s message still resonates and will when it will really matter during the fall campaign.
If you will notice, Charlie has abandoned all pretense that he is a conservative. He has vetoed every conservative piece of legislation and supports every conceivable liberal idea.
Yes he is getting some Democrat support but the rules of politics have not been repealed and as November approaches, Charlie has no where to go but down. Charlie is at his high water mark but Marco is not.
Have you noticed the national polls. Conservatives have increased nationwide from around 35% to 42% now. I have not seen Florida figures but we track the national almost perfectly.
In the end, Marco will get 75-80% of the conservatives and take around a 1/3rd of the moderates. This will help him win comfortably.
Now the fly in the ointment is the Democrat Primary. If Greene wins, the hard core Democrats will go with Charlie. That would make the race trickier but I believe Rubio’s message will save the day.
As far as mistakes go, the summer not the fall is the time to make them.
So calm down and take a deep breath. Now is not the time to panic!
