Although the news broke during the middle of the day yesterday, the fact that the 3rd DCA of Florida affirmed the earlier Miami Dade County ruling that Florida's law against gay adoption – the only such law in the country -is unconstitutional, needs to be front page news across the Sunshine State today.

Today there is big news on the Marco Rubio front: Two front page stories in both the St. Pete Times and the Tampa Tribune that are not favorable towards the former House Speaker. Coupled with another major story on Rubio's finances by the Sarasota Herald-Tribune on Sunday, the question is: can his opponents seize on these reports and get some traction in the U.S. Senate race?
The Trib's story is about an anecdote that CL's own Chris Ingram is busting Rubio on: Chris has his own blog post on the whole matter that is must reading.
