(7,410 posts)Scott keeps polling around a 2-4% advantage in head to head polls.
The interesting thing is that when the Libertarian candidate is thrown into the race it actually costs Crist more votes, and adds 2-3% to Scott's lead.

(5,649 posts)What a fucking douchebag. I can't believe the people in my state were stupid enough to vote in a criminal.
ETA: HALF the people in my state were stupid enough to vote in a criminal.

(34,136 posts)And vote for a Republican candidate likely to disrupt the main candidate. Then they switch back for the main election and vote for the Democratic candidate. That can increase the apparent Republican primary numbers.
Another possibility is that a lot of progressive Democrats will have a hard enough time voting for a DINO like Crist once and don't want to do it twice.
