From SunshineNews:
Even though Gov. Charlie Crist hand-picked him to serve as his running mate in 2006, Lt. Gov. Jeff Kottkamp on Wednesday endorsed Crist’s chief opponent in the U.S. Senate race, former House Speaker Marco Rubio.
Rubio is running as a Republican, while Crist left the GOP back in April to continue his campaign as an independent. Kottkamp is running against former Assistant State Attorney Pam Bondi and former Agency for Health Care Administration Secretary Holly Benson in a close battle for the Republican nomination for attorney general.
“Today I announce my endorsement of Marco Rubio to be Florida’s next United States senator,” said Kottkamp.
