The popular ex-mayor, who served in the Clinton Administration as Deputy Secretary of Energy, may still be considered an underdog, according to Richard Murray, political scientist at the University of Houston, but he has "a real chance of winning."

"Crist did preside over one of the largest tax reductions in Florida history," says Sean Foreman, a political scientist at Barry University in Miami, referring to Crist's multibillion-dollar property-tax cuts. "He needs to define Rubio, but he also needs to define himself better, especially his experience vs. Rubio's lack of it. If he does that, I still think Crist hasn't lost this...
