Video: Newt Gingrich on Charlie Crist v. Marco Rubio

in Statewide by
During a book-signing at Barnes and Noble in southwest Florida, Newt Gingrich weighed in (without really weighing in) on the state’s big Senate primary between Gov. Charlie Crist and Marco Rubio (H/t to GOP 12).

Reporter: Speaker, why don’t you tell us who do you like for the Florida Senate race?

Newt: Well, I think they’re both fine people.

I’ve worked with Governor Crist for many years, and I’ve worked with Speaker Marco Rubio. It’s going to be an interesting choice. Marco Rubio’s a very aggressive, very articulate conservative. Governor Crist is a very solid political figure.

I think that Florida’s very fortunate to have that kind of a primary. Those are both very good people.
