Charlie Crist Attacks Marco Rubio in New TV Ad

Gov. Charlie Crist, who is running for the U.S. Senate without party affiliation, launched a new commercial on Monday attacking former House Speaker Marco Rubio, the Republican nominee in the race, for backing earmarks and special projects. While Crist had pledged not to go negative, with Rubio leading in the polls by double digits, the governor is now trying to hammer the GOP nominee.

Charlie Crist is so desperate to not talk about his record of higher unemployment, failed $800 billion stimulus programs, wasted taxpayer dollars on European junkets and numerous flip-flops on Obamacare that he has resorted to making up facts about Marco Rubio, said Alex Burgos, a spokesman for Rubio. Since Charlie Crist will say anything and change any position about his record in order to win, there's no reason Florida voters should trust what he has to say about his opponents.

No matter how much Charlie Crist spends on attack ads, nothing will change the fact that Marco Rubio is the only candidate Floridians can trust to challenge the direction Washington is taking our country and offer a clear alternative, added Burgos.
