...very popular in the beginning, right? You reference "Yugomania." The summer before it came, you had all this media attention: a $3,995 car? What's going to happen? It's a communist car - will Americans buy it? The press was just nonstop, and it created a consumer fad. Then there's that segment of American car buyers who truly do want an appliance.

Before the relatively unknown 38-year-old Rubio became the darling of angry conservatives last summer, the race for the Florida Senate seat - one of the most important up for grabs in 2010, given the Sunshine State's bellwether status - looked like a walk on the beach for Crist, who led some polls by almost 30 points.
