Marco Rubio held a conservative blogger call this morning.
Rubio praised conservative New Media for “basically giving our campaign life” and said his campaign “would have been impossible five years ago.”
He attacked Governor Charlie Crist for being the only Republican to campaign for the stimulus with President Obama, and announced the launch of a new eCampaign effort called a “Stimulus Bomb,” with a goal of raising $787,000 by February 10.
The $787,000 is obviously a play on the $787 billion stimulus.
Rubio’s campaign also announced a “Truth Squad,” which will be a decentralized effort (which he calls “organized chaos”) to push-back Crist’s attacks in advance. They are currently recruiting bloggers to participate.
Lastly, Rubio stressed his concern that, post Scott Brown, the media will work overtime to help Crist: “The mainstream media … buys into this agenda… and I think they’re going to be very aggressive and hostile toward anybody who dares challenge it.”
