Two libertarian-leaning Republicans for Senate reach the "Magic ’50’" mark

From Eric Dondero:

We have supported both these candidates from the beginning. We were talking up Marco Rubio here at Libertarian Republican in 2009 when he was the longest of longshots. And the Republican Liberty Caucus was warm to his candidacy from the very start. Rubio had sent a top aide to address the RLC convention in Jacksonville (LR article 2009).

We reported favorably on Sharron Angle's race way back in early 2009, "Republican candidate Sharron Angle likely to challenge Reid in Nevada":

After months of dissapointing recruitment efforts by the Nevada GOP, a candidate has finally emerged to take on Liberal/Statist Senator Harry Reid. And she happens to be a candidate from the "Republican wing of the Republican Party."

According to Silver State Libertarian Leanings blog, Angle hails from the “The Republican Wing of the Republican Party”. The movement was the brainchild of libertarian Republican/Anti-Tax firebrand Chuck Muth of Carson City.

We also very proudly had Ms. Angle on our show "Libertarian Politics Live," two days after she won the GOP nomination earlier this year.

Now these two poll results:

US SENATE – FLORIDA (Rasmussen)

Marco Rubio (R) 50%
Charlie Crist (I) 25%
Kendrick Meek (D) 19%

And Politico is even reporting that Angle's new numbers represent a "surge."

From Rasmussen:

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Nevada Voters shows Angle hitting the 50% mark for the first time since mid-August, while Reid earns 46% of the vote. Two percent (2%) prefer some other candidate in the race, and two percent (2%) more are undecided. (To see question wording, click here.)

This marks the widest gap between the two candidates since late June, but the race remains a Toss-Up in the Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 Senate Balance of Power rankings.

These are truly wonderful times to be a Libertarian Republican.
