Two polls released last week showed Mr. Rubio leading the governor by 18 percentage points in the August primary, a reversal from last summer, when the former Florida House speaker trailed Mr. Crist by 30 points. The shifting fortunes underscore how profoundly Barack Obama's slumping popularity is convulsing both parties. The rise of hard-line conservatives and Tea Party activists are eroding support for Democrats and moderate Republicans such as Mr. Crist, who was viewed as a possible vice-presidential candidate in 2008. Mr. Rubio, 38 years old, has gained traction positioning himself as a staunchly conservative, anti-establishment candidate while casting Mr. Crist as too cozy with Democrats. One helpful prop: The widely circulated image of Mr. Crist hugging Mr. Obama at a Florida rally last year in support of the federal fiscal stimulus plan.

The federal government requiring everyone to purchase a product is not "regulation" and can be seen as an infringement of individual rights. There is a grossly remarkable difference between "regulation" and "administration and/or control. In addition what would they do with Mass, a state that already has a mandated healthcare system. The constitution clearly left to the states all laws not provided within the document to the states. It is a huge over reaching bill that is best left in the waste bin. We shall see what "bill" they attempt to ram down the throats of citizens who do not want it. If they give an exemption to any religious order more religions than healthcare providers will spring up that fit the requirements for exemption. You are talking about a bill as controversial as the draft, with the exception that the draft was instituted for the purpose of national security and clearly covered by the constitution. You question is "what part of the constitution" and the answer is NO PART....as nothing in the constitution gives the federal government the right to demand people purchase healthcare.
