Conservative David Frum wrote on CNN Monday night that Republicans are headed for a "spectacular bloodbath" in 2010.
The Republican fratricide in the Nov. 3 special election in upstate New York may prove just an opening round of an even more spectacular bloodbath in Florida in 2010.
In New York, Republican feuding lost the party a seat in the House of Representatives. At stake in Florida is not only a senatorship -- but very possibly Republican hopes for 2012 as well.
Frum points out that Marco Rubio, the conservative candidate challenging Gov. Charlie Crist for the Senate, has won an enthusiastic national following by opposing stimulus funds. He has the endorsement of the Club For Growth. But he's getting little support with actual Florida voters.
The governorships of Jeb Bush and Charlie Crist have been lackluster. The intramural GOP infighting is good news for Democrats. The hard right conservatives led by Rush Limbaugh and Glen Beck are fracturing the GOP.

Although Florida is in the South, many of the residents on the Gulf Coast are Mid-Western and many on the East Coast are from the North East. Obama won the state in 2008 so Florida is a newly minted Blue State. The governorships of Jeb Bush and Charlie Crist have been lackluster. The intramural GOP infighting is good news for Democrats. The hard right conservatives led by Rush Limbaugh and Glen Beck are fracturing the GOP.
