"A GOP Star is Born
The St. Petersburg Times reports that perhaps 'the most sought-after press credential in the country' on Election Night is for Marco Rubio's (R) U.S. Senate campaign party in Florida.
'As of yesterday, the campaign had received requests from 232 media outlets. That includes 35 television cameras (of which 17 are from Florida), network crews from NBC, ABC, FOX, CNN, the BBC, NPR, Univision and Al Arabiya, and 75 members of the foreign press -- radio reporters from the Czech Republic, West Africa, China; TV crews from the Congo, Colombia, Japan, France, Spain; and print reporters from Germany, New Zealand, Argentina and the UK.'
The latest Public Policy Polling survey shows Rubio headed for an easy victory as he leads Gov. Charlie Crist (I), 47% to 30%, with Rep. Kendrick Meek (D) at 21%."
