1. Wow. Soto wiped the floor with Grayson

and the number of Rs voting for gov vs Ds voting for gov are outnumber us by 100,000

[rzemanfl]

2. There are a lot of Dems in the running. Also I believe R areas tend to report first. n/t

[lpbk2713]

3. Well damn.

I liked Gillum but didn't vote for him because I had read where he wasn't expected to have much of a chance. Live and learn.

[Phoenix61]

4. There's an ugly corruption case in Tallahassee

I like him too but that won't play well in the general.

5. Vote for your issues

I usually advise that you vote for the person that represents your point of view in a primary. Even if they lose, it will be noticed the amount of support they did receive and it can affect both the general election, and future primaries as well as subsequent legislation. But make sure that if the guy actually wins, you'll be happy. i.e. no "protest votes".

6. Same here. I would prefer Gillum, but I voted for Gwen.

I think she has a better chance in the general and I certainly don't want another Republican governor.

[oberliner]

10. Gillum looks like he will win

[Flaleftist]

12. Then I hope I'm wrong about his chances in the general.

The Blue Wave may be even stronger than I hoped.

[oberliner]

13. Hopefully DeSantis is too crazy even for Florida

[lpbk2713]

16. Well double damn.

I won't do that again.

Congratulations soon-to-be Governor Gillum.

9. Gillum closing in on Graham

Looks like he may pull off the upset.

[Awsi Dooger]

11. Gillum now leading narrowly

Graham was 91% on the betting markets late this afternoon

[Roland99]

15. That's a lot of Repuke votes for Gov compared to Dems
