Latest Rasmussen poll shows Crist has 14-point lead over Marco Rubio
Story here at Rasmussen Reports.
Excerpt:
The contest for the 2010 Republican Senate nomination in Florida is a little closer this month, but Governor Charlie Crist still holds a 14-point lead over former state House Speaker Marco Rubio.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely GOP Primary voters in the state finds Crist outdistancing Rubio 49% to 35%. Four percent (4%) like some other candidate, and 12% are undecided.
In mid-August, Crist was beating Rubio by 22 points among GOP Primary voters – 53% to 31%. That was Rasmussen Reports’ first poll of next year’s Republican Primary race.
The fact that Crist has fallen below 50% in a primary against a lesser known opponent suggests potential vulnerability.
Both men are vying to be the Republican nominee in next year’s race to fill the seat vacated by retiring GOP Senator Mel Martinez. In August, Crist as governor named his chief of staff, George LeMiuex, to serve the remainder of Martinez’s term, but LeMieux is not running for a full term next year.
This is more good news, especially after that RINO Dede Scozzafava quit the NY-23 Congressional race. Doug Hoffman is now tied with the Democrat, but should get the majority of Scozzafava’s votes when she drops out of the race. The election is set for Tuesday. My concern at this point is that the Republican establishment waited too long to endorse the right candidate and now we may have trouble getting out the vote.
Judge rules Rifqa Bary must return to Ohio to be placed in foster care
Pamela Geller reports in Newsmax. (H/T Muddling Towards Maturity)
Excerpt:
Last Tuesday, Oct. 27, she was returned to Ohio and placed in foster care in Franklin County. Eric Fenner, the executive director of Franklin County Children Services, said that he has “no reason to believe Rifqa wouldn’t be safe with her parents” — with the father who according to Rifqa said, “If you have this Jesus in your heart, you’re dead to me. You’re not my daughter . . . I will kill you.”
And even now in Ohio, Rifqa Bary’s civil rights are being violated. She is being held prisoner: She is not allowed use of the phone or the Internet, unlike thousands of other children in foster care. Why? What is her crime?
Wow! Foster care! That sounds like good news. But I thought the parents had to produce their immigration documents to get Rifqa released to Ohio.
Pamela writes:
After repeatedly being asked to produce their immigration documents and repeatedly failing to do so, and after I proved their illegal status and perjury on immigration forms at my Web site AtlasShrugs.com, Rifqa Bary’s parents risked being held in contempt of court.
So Rifqa’s father’s attorney, David Colley, made a deal with Bartholomew: The contempt of court charge would be dropped, and in exchange, Rifqa would be allowed to stay in foster care until she turned 18 — in other words, until she could be free of her parents.
Well, that’s where things stand now. Pamela has done an amazing job to protect Rifqa from a possible honor killing.
