FL GOV - Sink leads by seven!

[FBaggins]

In the race for governor, current Chief Financial Officer of the state of Florida and Democratic candidate Alex Sink (45 percent) leads Republican candidate Rick Scott (38 percent) by 7 points. Independent candidates split 4 percent of the vote – Peter Allen (2 percent), C.C. Reed (1 percent), Daniel Imperato (1 percent), while 13 percent of likely voters remain undecided.

When asked which candidate for governor has run a more negative campaign, 42 percent of likely voters said Republican Rick Scott, 23 percent said Democrat Alex Sink, and 35 percent remain undecided.
The mindset of the likely Florida voter is very negative. Fifty-two percent disapprove of the job Barack Obama is doing as President, 58 percent think the country is heading in the wrong direction, 60 percent said the job situation won’t improve in the next six months, and 89 percent said that the recession is not over in Florida

4. Great article on front page of St. Pete Times

It was a transcript of one of Scott's depositions showing him saying "I don't remember" over and over again (relating to his hospital company committing Medicare fraud, I believe). He even said he didn't sign something then had to admit that it "looked" like his signature.

Teabagger heads must have been exploding all over their kitchen tables this morning.

9. Polls have Scott under 40% now

he is flirting with Katherine Harris territory now when in 2002 (a huge Republican year she could only muster 40% against Bill Nelson). Nelson won with 60% of the vote.

11. recent polling has been strongly going for Sink so of course Rasmussen has a poll

out today contradicting this showing Scott up by 6. I don't believe that poll, I think it's Ras trying to change the talk from Sink surging.
