Republican Senate Nomination May Come Down to a Hug

Marco Rubio capitalizes on a photo of Charlie Crist hugging Barack Obama

(NBC Miami) - Marco Rubio has less political experience than Charlie Crist. And he hasn’t raised nearly as much money in his run against the governor for U.S. Senate. And he still lags behind the governor in polls leading up the November race.

But he hasn’t hugged Barack Obama.

And that just may be his ace in the hole.
