Alex Sink, Democratic candidate for Governor is now leading Republican Rick Scott by a robust 7 point lead. Seems there is a strong independant movement toward Sink. She has also become very popular with women.
Many potential Fla. voters have said that the highly negative campaign ads by multi millionare Scott are a major turnoff....
[Guess Scott should have used the money he embezzled from that "socialistic organization" Medicare and wishes it had been put to better use!]

If Rick Scott were running against a two-headed lemur, I'd vote for the lemur.

I saw this on Politifact last night. And just now, I saw the Scott ad claiming that Sink gave those bonuses.

That's a good likely voter poll too. Clearly Scott has some work to do. He hasn't been successful at closing the gap.

yeah ... Who knew it would be so hard to buy the governor job?Beach Fanatic
I like Sink, but she does have some pretty exploitable weaknesses that Scott is trying to go for. But Scott's the guy who actually manages to have exponentially more baggage than Sink does. The RPOF really screwed up by lining up behind McCollum so soon in the process when a Charles Bronson or properly funded Paula Dockery would have been a hella more lively during primary season.
If it had been Dockery (who managed to stay clear of the RPOF follies to a large part) against Sink, I think Dockery would have been Florida's first female governor.

I'm still trying to figure out why Scott hiring his mother means he will do a good job of creating jobs for Florida.
My first thought was nepotism, the second was "first you put your sweet old mom to work in the bakery, now you are making her do ads for you."

I saw the attack ads last night. Pots, kettles and darkness crossed my mind. If you think about it, many voters still have no idea who Alex Sink is, so Scott's best shot is to make the first impression a nasty one. I still think the guy has a sleaze factor that will drag him down. I'm looking forward to that hot dog courtesy of WRobert

I have discovered a deep dark secret.....I knew Mrs. Scott back in the days when we were both young lawyers wives!
She was a hoot. Her husband is a coot. That is all.

Not sure how it works in Texas, but we elect the person who's running, not their husband.
I'll bet wrobert a hot dog that Scott runs an ad with circus music and references her ancestors.

McCollum was leading him by 9 points, look where that got him.

I am either going to be buying a lot of hot dogs or none. But either way, I am game. Let's get to work!

It appears she is the only person who can say anything nice about him.
A better ad would have been a video of ol' mom spanking the snot out of him for his bad behavior and maybe the voters would really be more convinced he had learned his lesson.
