My guess is, the Sink campaign is so sure she has a lock on the nomination that they are saving their advertising money for the general election.
When they will save even more, by running excerpts of those already-produced Scott/McCollum ads. 
That would be my guess too. I haven’t seen any, although I see her face every day on the Division of Financial Services website…
Bay News 9 says McCollum and Scott are still running close, Scott a bit ahead.
I watched some election coverage with a local Dem club and there were cheers every time the screen showed Scott ahead. The consensus seems to be that he’s much easier for Sink to beat.
Scott’s up 46-43 with 78% of precincts reporting. This one’s pretty close to over.
As for who’s better for Sink, the polls I’ve seen are mixed. She leads both candidates, but usually within the margin of error and there’s rarely more than a point or two difference between the 2 Republican candidates. Typical is a recent Quinnipac poll which had her 31-29 (20 undecided) over McCollum and 33-29 over Scott (again 20 or so undecided).
Of course, Quinnipac’s been saying that McCollum was surging with a most recent 44-35 lead over Scott, so…
Aaand it’s primary night, Sink has announced her victory, and I just saw the first Alex Sink ad I’ve ever seen on TV.
I’ve been seeing one for about a week now. Did the one you saw show McCollum and Scott dopplegangers arguing while Sink talks about how much she dislikes negative campaigning?
Sink will start out ahead. Scott will try to tie her to Obama and Crist. This will work (because people are idiots). By October, it’ll be neck and neck with Scott maybe even having a slight lead. The last half of October will be a money-fest like Florida’s never seen, the Dems will have a dozen PACs throwing mud at Scott whilst Sink stays on the high road. The tide turns in the last week or so and Sink wins in a nail-biter.
The upside for Florida is that most of Scott’s stolen federal money will get spent here in Florida as will TONS of national democratic money. TV station and print shop owners will single-handedly resurrect the fancy yacht industry.
No, this election-night spot made no mention of her opponents at all.
Sink leads early, Scott leads in the middle, Sink regains lead and wins election on strength of an across-the-board Democratic boost after better than expected economic recovery figures just prior to election day.
I must admit, I did not see this coming. McCollum is an experienced politician, Florida AG, former Congressman. Rick Scott is what you might call the “Tea Party insurgent” – but how can even the Tea Partiers stomach this sleazebag? Does anyone here want to make a case for voting for him in November?
Sure! He’s an expert at getting money out of the Fed. He might steal, but put him in the mansion and he’ll steal for us!
I don’t know anything about Scott, but Florida is a purple state. If you manage to out-Red McCollum, you’re pretty sure to be too conservative for Floridian voters at large. Barring exceptional voter stupidity above and beyond the average, Sink will be able to coast to victory just by mining Scott’s primary quotes. If they’re anything like Rubio’s, there’s lots to choose from (“I blame crist for accepting stimulus money” = “Rubio wants to send our tax dollars to other states and slow down our recovery!”)
I’m with you on this one 100% 
McCollum has refused to immediately endorse Scott.
He pulled this last time he lost too, but finally caved and endorsed his opponent a few days later.
Scott will now have to begin fundraising from the same people he’s been blasting during the primary. Those Party “insiders” who were (according to Scott) “crying in their cocktails” after his win.
The Sink campaign has also stated that they consider the multiple investigations into Scott’s companies (Columbia/HCA, and Solantic Urgent Care) as fair topics for the general campaign (although supposedly they don’t intend to go negative).
I have serious questions about Rick Scott’s integrity and honesty, too.
Breaking news: Bud Chiles is about to drop his independent bid. Which is good news for the Sink campaign.
So, one thing we haven’t yet discussed in this thread: Who would make the better governor?
Make your arguments.
Sink easily. She’s at least not actively a crook. She’s also had 4 years in state government. I’m REALLY tired of government by amateurs.
As of 09/01/10, Rassmussen puts it at 45% for Scott, 44% for Sink. That’s post Chiles dropping out.
I saw Sink on TV yesterday and she said she wants five debates. Think it’ll happen?
The first debate, on children’s issues, is scheduled for October 16 at the University of Miami. “Sink told Lawrence that she intends to participate, while Republican Rick Scott is still in talks with organizers.”
