Rush Limbaugh: Marco Rubio is 'down-the-line Reagan conservative'
Rush Limbaugh yesterday: "You call it a revamp, I think the political scientists talking about this in
terms of the word 'realignment,' but that's not actually an accurate way to describe what's going on. I think what is happening -- and we gotta be careful that we don't extrapolate too much from what happens tomorrow. New York-23 is big, and... (interruption) Well, yeah. Maybe we can't overdo it. I think ... like I said on the Fox News show yesterday and on this radio show last week: I think there's a revolt brewing out there, and revolts in this country take place on election days. They take place at the ballot box. And I think, you know, in terms of Florida, you've got a down-the-line Reagan conservative in Marco Rubio; and you've got Charlie Crist, who is the sitting governor, who David Brooks would say is a moderate. Charlie Crist embraced Obama when Obama first came here to push the stimulus.
"When Obama was last here in Jacksonville last week, Charlie Crist was not there. And they got hold of Charlie Crist, 'Why weren't you there?' He said, 'Why, I didn't know Obama was even in the state.'
