Josh Kraushaar reports on some good news for Marco Rubio, who's challenging Gov. Charlie Crist in the 2010 GOP Senate primary:

Rubio won overwhelming support from Republican party leaders in Pasco County (around Tampa-St. Petersburg), which neighbors Crist's home base of Pinellas County.

Rubio received 73 votes to Crist's 9 votes in a countywide straw poll of the Senate primary.

That's a blow to Crist, who was endorsed by the country GOP when he faced a competitive primary in 2006. And it's consistent with the (anecdotal) gripes of many prominent conservative activists throughout the Sunshine State.
