If these are going to be Rick Scott's numbers in November as compared

to Charlie Crist's numbers, a whole lot of people will need to head to the polls. Scary!

That's where the statewide races are decided now. Panhandle Fl= repuke, South Fl= Dem, NE Fl= repuke. I'm surprised we even get commercials up here in Jax.

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.

... conserva-dems and ramming them down our throats. Chain-gang Charlie has some work to do selling the democratic base on his candidacy.

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.

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.
