Could Bush Take Down Charlie Crist?

In an early primary poll for the U.S. Senate seat in Florida, conservative Marco Rubio trails Charlie Crist by a significant margin, even if it's narrowed in the past several weeks. It seems clear that one man could help take down Crist - former popular governor Jeb Bush. From the Miami Herald:

...71 percent of Republicans would pick Bush as governor today, while only 22 percent of Republicans said they would pick Crist over Bush. ``Is there a path to victory for Marco Rubio? Yes, but it involves the support of Jeb Bush,'' pollster Tom Eldon said. ``Crist may have appointed the last senator, but Bush has it in his hands to appoint the next one.''

Interesting.
