The Victory Fund’s blog, GayPolitics.com, has this post today, Is Marco Rubio Anti-Gay? The article explores the philosophies of Rubio and Charlie Crist. Could Floridians find out too late that they voted for a staunchly anti-gay U.S. senator? Florida’s leading GOP candidate for the U.S. Senate, Marco Rubio, doesn’t like to talk about social issues now that he’s the clear front runner for his party’s nomination.

Is Charlie Crist the face of a new Republican Party, or a harbinger of the GOP’s demise? He’s handsome, personable and popular: a dream candidate for Florida’s 2010 Senate race. And Charlie Crist, currently the Sunshine State’s Republican governor, will probably win. That makes him a good thing for the Republican Party, right? Yes and no. The GOP is desperate for another vote — or 10 — in the Senate, so Crist’s bid sounds like good news to the ears…
