...Republican, Republicans usually pick the Republican. It's the same phenomenon that could doom party-switching Senator Arlen Specter in the Pennsylvania Democratic primary; partisans don't often reward bipartisanship. "Crist has focused on the Arlen Specter wing of the Republican Party," says Palm Beach County GOP chairman Sid Dinerstein. "Rubio could be the future of a real Republican Party...
...Palm Beach County GOP chairman Sid Dinerstein, who is Jewish, said it was the 65-year-old, more affluent Jews whom he believed would move toward McCain, particularly "a lot who haven't voted Republican before." "When you are the candidate of [Louis] Farrakhan...the Jews with an open mind get very, very nervous," Dinerstein said.

"The voters, they are waiting for a natural leader," Dinerstein said. Or at least one who can manage to stay...
...Negron's campaign, meanwhile, will have to spend less time going after Mahoney and considerably more effort educating the district's voters about the strange electoral situation ahead. Palm Beach County G.O.P. Chairman Sid Dinerstein says the party is gearing up a major campaign of direct mail and polling place signs, and he believes he can still count on the party's base. "As a party we're still motivated," Dinerstein insists, but admitted that the "anti-Foley backlash" will be a large obstacle. Negron says his most important task will be to remind G.O.P. voters "to vote Republican...
