CNN analysis of Charlie Crist v. Marco Rubio: ‘This one’s pretty ugly’

Charlie Crist and former state House Speaker Marco Rubio is full of fireworks… Stuart Rothenberg, editor and publisher of the nonpartisan Rothenberg Political Report, said, “The Republican Party’s long had different wings on cultural issues, but that’s a very different kind of fight than the GOP experienced in New York 23 and that the party’s having in Florida right now, where economic issues, such…
