He who holds the elevator power

Not unlike the ups and downs of a building elevator are political polls such as the two recent ones now showing U.S. Senate candidate and former House Speaker Marco Rubio taking over the lead from fellow Republican opponent Gov. Charlie Crist.

On Jan. 27, both candidates were in the Capitol to speak back to back to a group of government reporters as part of the Associated Press' annual legislative day.

Crist took the elevator from his office on the first floor up to the 22nd, and top floor, to speak to the group first at 9 a.m. After taking questions, at 9:30 a.m., the governor promptly made his way through the press horde back to the elevator.
