...playing an anxious virgin will tell. The movie was a bad choice for him, given his résumé. But there are moments when you are surprised and delighted by his soft, subversive delivery and the way he's turned his distinctly non-Hollywood body into an asset. You think, There's no one quite like this kid (well, except for Jesse Eisenberg, who also dealt with the burden of virginity in Adventureland).

The conservative groundswell for Rubio has netted his campaign a surprising $1 million; Crist, however, has $5 million, which could begin raining down on his opponent early next year. After last week's Rasmussen poll, Rubio declared that as a result of "our campaign's growing momentum, voters are starting to realize that there are vast differences between me and Charlie Crist on a number of important issues." But Crist ads will question that assertion - as well as Rubio's record on matters like immigration reform and cap-and-trade policies to limit...
