Most major media outlets have now called the U.S. Senate race for Republican Marco Rubio. Independent Charlie Crist is running a solid second, leading Democratic nominee Kendrick Meek 29% to 19% at the moment.
The Republican Party of Florida’s Chairman, State Senator John Thrasher, has released the following statement:
“I congratulate Senator-elect Marco Rubio on a great victory tonight. Millions of Floridians spoke in this election, and they overwhelmingly want Marco to represent them. Through this campaign, Marco has connected with millions of Floridians – voters that overwhelmingly want someone who will challenge the direction that politicians in Washington are taking our country. His incredible life story, message, and ideas to reclaim our country have clearly struck a chord with Florida voters of all political parties. We need a change in direction from the Obama-Pelosi agenda and Marco Rubio is exactly the leader Floridians want to challenge Washington and its politicians that will say and do anything simply to win an election.”
