Democrats Anoint Rubio Frontrunner

Marco Rubio is picking up steam in his bid to be Floridas next senator. At least his foes in the Democratic ranks think so.

Florida Democratic Communications Director Eric Jotkoff sends out a constant streams of email bashing Republicans, pointing out their inconsistencies and lambasting their positions.

Theres been a subtle shift in Jotkoffs emails. While he still throws the occasional elbow at Bill McCollum or Charlie Crist, Jotkoff has been focusing his fire on Rubio. Hes forwarded coulmns that are critical of Rubio. Hes sent out cartoons mocking Rubios claims to be an outsider and a Tea Party conservative. And almost every email refers to Miami Lobbyist Marco Rubio.

Even with The New York Times dissecting Crists Everglades real estate deal with U.S. Sugar in todays edition, there is not a peep from Jotkoff about the governor.

Is Marco Rubio the frontrunner for the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate seat over Crist? The Democrats seem to think so.
