Castor leading in Florida over all, tied with Martinez, leads Dems.

[madfloridian]

Here are the results of the latest Mason-Dixon Poll:

Betty Castor 37%
Peter Deutsch 21%
Alex Penelas 10%
Undecided 31%

We're in a great position to win in November, too:

Betty Castor 44%
Bill McCollum 39%

Betty Castor 39%
Mel Martinez 39%

1. Fucking idiots that primary electorate. It's so frigging clear Castor has

a miniscule chance to beat Mel Martinez.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

2. Why can't Castor Win?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. She Can Beat McCollum....Martinez Is A Lot More Difficult....

cuz of the Hispanic vote which will go overwhelmingly for him...

[PROGRESSIVE1]

4. Well gee, 43% of the Hispanic voted against Cruz Bustamante!

:wtf: is this crap??? WHY can't the Dem's get the same advantage. It seems to be at every corner we are getting screwed and the NAZI Rethugs are getting the advantages!

:argh:

:grr:

5. Cruz Was Running Against A Celebrity That Transcended Ethnicity

not Betty Castor....


If Cruz was running against a garden variety Republican he would have done much better


I thought Alex Penellas was a decent choice but he has way too much baggage...

Let's cross our fingers that Bill McCollum wins the Puke primary... That clown can be beaten...

[PROGRESSIVE1]

6. What are McCollum's chances?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

7. He Has A Slight Lead I Believe....

but the White House is pushing Martinez hard....


Martinez is an ex trial lawyer... In fact he even mentored a good friend of mine... He's a decent fella but he's moved way to the right....


I can understand his pro life position but his embrace of the gay marriage prohibition amendment is out of character for him....

[Bombtrack]

8. He has baggage in a dem. primary where people are deceitful about your

record. Such as Peter Deutsch and Jim Defede, a jerk who has had a transparent demonization campaign against Penelas and Penelas's allies on the city council for years.

Penelas would have not had any of that BS harm him in a general election.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

9. I Don't Like Deutsch....

He could never win a state wide race in Florida.... Never....


Penellas might....


I'm scared of Martinez.... He'll help * with the Cuban vote....


Kerry's chances in FL improve if McCollum's on the ticket with *.....


If a R has to represent FL I rather it be Martinez but I pray we hold that seat.....

10. From that same poll

The GOP primary has McCollum at 29, Martinez 24, and Byrd 7. I think we all agree that McCollum would be an easier candidate, with Byrd being the easiest.

11. I notice the primary this year is winner take all

no runoff

That makes it virtually impossible for Penelas or Deutsch to catch Castor since they're basically fighting over the same turf.

I don't know who that helps in Repub primary.
