New poll shows Scott Brown in “strong position” for special election
By: Sarah Rumpf (Diary) | December 20th at 08:27 AM |
Boston’s NPR radio station, WBUR, conducted a poll earlier this week that shows Scott Brown is in a “strong position” to rejoin his colleagues in the Senate, assuming John Kerry is appointed to be Secretary of State, triggering a special election.
The poll was conducted with 500 registered voters on Monday and Tuesday, and Brown’s favorables are very high, even though it is less than two months after he lost a brutal campaign battle against Elizabeth Warren.

Another shameless power grab coming from Massachusetts Democrats?
By: Sarah Rumpf (Diary) | November 25th at 11:38 AM |
As you may know, I spent some time in Massachusetts this year, working on some Congressional races, and it’s been an interesting time for me, seeing the differences (the many, many, many differences) between that state and my home state of Florida.
Both states have a legislature dominated by one party, but with wide variation in how much autonomous power the controlling party really has. When the Republicans who control the Florida House and Senate push their luck too far, the Florida press corps howl in protest and voters in even heavily-Republican districts tend to reject anything really outlandish (case in point: the failure of many of the constitutional amendments, which originated in the Legislature, on the ballot this year).
In contrast, in Massachusetts, when the Democrats try something nutty, it’s met with shrugs and mostly ignored as simply business as usual. At best, media outlets like the Boston Herald may cover a story here and there, but it rarely seems to slow down the Democrats’ appetite for abusing government power…

Ted Cruz at #RSG12 gives credit to Marco Rubio and bloggers
By: Sarah Rumpf (Diary) | August 5th at 08:58 PM |
Promoted from the diaries Ted Cruz, fresh off his amazing win in the runoff for the Texas Republican Senate primary on Tuesday, was in Jacksonville, Florida on Friday for this year’s RedState Gathering. He gave a great speech to kick off the conference and was kind enough to sit down for a interview with me. I first met Cruz at CPAC 2011 and have followed | Read More »
FreedomWorks endorses Connie Mack for FL-SEN, calls George LeMieux a RINO
By: Sarah Rumpf (Diary) | June 19th at 02:57 PM |
…Well, it looks like FreedomWorks agrees with my assessment that George LeMieux is no conservative.
In a viciously scathing email from Executive Director Max Pappas this morning, the FreedomWorks PAC endorsed Connie Mack and discussed LeMieux’s record in meticulous detail. They noted many of the same issues I did regarding his voting record and support from liberals and moderates, noting that “the more we looked at [Mack and LeMieux's] records, the clearer the choice became.”

By: Sarah Rumpf (Diary) | January 28th at 07:16 AM |
Hello, I’m Marco Rubio, a Senator from Florida. Right now all eyes are focused on my home state ahead of next week’s Republican presidential primary. It’s an exciting contest and I know that passions are high. So I wanted to take a moment to explain to the rest of the country why Republicans in Florida are so excited about this primary: Because we believe our country is in big trouble…

Yet another blatantly false liberal media attack on Marco Rubio
By: Sarah Rumpf (Diary) | January 26th at 01:07 PM |
Churchill never had the opportunity to meet Marco Rubio, but I believe he would have felt a kinship with my Senator. Today, Reuters joined the unholy alliance of jokers and schemers who have been engaged in a vicious quest to smear the name of Marco Rubio in the eyes of the American public, and specifically in the Hispanic community.

Hypocrisy: (noun) From the Greek term for “Senate Democrats”
By: Sarah Rumpf (Diary) | January 4th at 05:39 PM |
Today, President Obama appointed Richard Cordray to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) while the Senate was in pro forma session. The CFPB is an unaccountable bureaucratic nightmare that was birthed from the Dodd-Frank bill, and Republicans are rightfully criticizing this latest abuse of power by the Obama Administration.
The criticism of this appointment is warranted for several reasons…

No, Marco Rubio does not support SOPA
By: Sarah Rumpf (Diary) | December 30th at 11:21 PM |
The internet makes sharing information quick and easy, but sometimes it also facilitates the spread of misinformation. Such is the case withHR 3261, the Stop Internet Piracy Act (“SOPA”).
Let me take a quick moment and point out that I do not support SOPA. Erick Erickson wrote a post last week that lays out some of the main problems with the bill, but the short story is that it gives too much power to a government agency without proper safeguards to protect free speech.
I have seen some chatter online this month criticizing Senator Marco Rubio for supporting SOPA, but this criticism is misdirected. Part of the confusion seems to stem from Rubio’s co-sponsorship of a separate bill in the Senate, S. 968, the Protect IP Act.

Marco Rubio: America Should Stand Up For Religious Freedom in Iran
By: Sarah Rumpf (Diary) | September 30th at 04:11 PM |
My Senator, Marco Rubio, is currently in Libya as part of the first Congressional delegation to visit since the Qadafi regime was deposed. Senator Rubio has been speaking out more in foreign policy topics recently and yesterday, National Review posted his op-ed on the subject of religious and political oppression in Iran.
Rubio highlights the plight of a Christian pastor named Yousef Nardarkhani, who is facing execution for abandoning Islam and refusing to recant his Christian faith:
