Wishful thinking. Go Tom!!!

Go Alex!!!!
Go Skip!!!

Once again......
THE TIMES contracted a democrat campaign firm to write a poll for them and had a republican pollster make calls to a specified sampling to obtain the desired results.
Is that the best ya'll can do?

Put a straw hat and a pair of overall bibs on McCollum and you have a mean version Mr. Green Jeans. No on wants Mr. Green Jeans as the state's top lawyer.

Put a pair of high waters on Lee with a piece of straw in between his chicklets teeth and you have Jethro Clampett. No one wants Jethro Clampett negotiating with the insurance companies.

Do Eng and Cnang count as one vote or two?

I am so sick and tired of democratic pollsters trying to sway the opinion of Floridians with these phony polls...the only "poll" that matters is the one on November 7th...Tom Lee, the most qualified man for the job, will be this great state's next CFO!!!!

To 9:19....if you have somthing interesting to say, say it.

GO TOM LEE!
GO MCCOLLUM!
ONWARD TO VICTORY--BOTH OF YOU HAVE FOUGHT AN HONORABLE FIGHT...WITHOUT DECEPTION...UNLIKE YOUR OPPONENTS!!
SINK AND CAMPBELL WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HIDE FROM THEIR EXTREMELY LIBERAL PASTS FOREVER!! TRUTH ALWAYS PREVAILS!!

9:19-
You are pathetic! Get off these blogs...you are bringing down the intelligence level immensely!

believe what you want to...dream a little even but I hate to tell you Tom Lee will walk away with the win for sure!!!

Alex Sink is a wolf in sheep's clothing...how dare her clothe herself in conservative ideals...she is a PHONEY!!! Plain and simple! Smart Floridians should rise up against this liberal woman and see her for what she really is...a woman who has donated to this country's most LIBERAL Congressmen and Congresswoman(take a look at the reports of Hillary Clinton, Cynthia McKinney, John Kerry-the list goes on)...she takes her daughter to march on Capitol Hill in support of abortion rights and is NO FISCAL CONSERVATIVE!!! Please do not let this woman come to Tallahassee and permeate our state with her liberal ideology!!!
As a mother, I do not want this woman to be a role model for my girls!!!
Please take the time to research this woman, as I have, and vote your conscience.

9:19

get off really you are a complete idiot and fool we have heard your crap long enough.

Sorry for the double post just then...I am new to these blogs.
Have a great day!

why not just ignore 9:19. this is exactly the same reason that the dems have given negron a boost by fighting the polling sign issue. they should have just let it go and no one would have noticed it. sutpid stupid stupid.

Bank of America charges the little guy big time under the leadership of Sink!! BOA known for supporting fees for you to have the privledge of putting your money in their bank???? Is that what you want for the citizens of Florida?? Read the small print..... a vote for Sink is a vote for you to pay fees for EVERYTHING!!

Do you want the Bank of America running your insurance in Florida? Sink will add fee after fee on your insurance just like BOA does when you bank with them. That is the Sink mentality. The number one dog at BOA when they initiated the fee to use the ATM!!

and as a mother I do not want this lady in office either at all, the public really needs to see her for what she is and know that a if she won she has her foot in the door for other possible positions in the future..wise up Florida

10:00
Give it up!!!
This is a POLITICAL race..I want someone who will NOT raise taxes, who is PRO LIFE, who is PRO BUSINESS and someone with a CONSERVATIVE ideology to be the CFO of our state-and that candidate is CLEARLY TOM LEE...not ALEX SINK who is decieving this state with her false persona!!! Get your head out of the clouds and focus on the political issues, istead of gossiping about someone's personal life...you and 9:19 should hang out...you are both pathetic!

9:57
I AGREE!!! WISE UP FLORIDA and do not let this woman into office! You should be ashamed of yourself Alex Sink...you are a phoney! You are not a fiscal conservative!! Never have been and never will!

I also agree that people need to see the big picture...Sink does not just aspire to be our CFO, she has bigger plans...do not let her get a foot in the door!!! It would be a major step in the WRONG direction for Florida!

10:05

thats all they can blog about is gossip with no real knowledge of anything they are very very stupid!!!!

Alex Sink, a rich Dem who will tax and spend and who has a history in business of adding fees to everything.

who cares about pro-life. i want my taxes and insurance reduced.

I CARE ABOUT PRO LIFE--the same way most conservative republicans do!!!!!!!

screw prolife. choice gives it to you anyway. i want my taxes and insurance to go down. women should control their bodies, not the republicans. Jesus was not a republican.

drop the personal insult and stick to the real issues. Who will be the better CFO?

10:12 and 10:13 is the same person...and I feel sorry for you...quit casting judgement and making statements you dont know to be true!!!
I can assure you that Sink is not in favor of lower taxes..she will RAISE them, make no mistake about that!!!!! She is pro tax!!!!!

10:14 boy that is grasping at thin air. you should be ashamed of yourself for making up stuff.

10:13

I do care, and I see the big picture if she should win(which I doubt) it is a spring board for her and there is no way I would ever want her representing me with her disgusting values!!!
TO Me the taxes I dont want raised but the moral issues do matter and Tom is pro life , dont be stupid and think women dont care about that if so you are fooling yourself. Dem and Rep women care get that through your think skull.

GO Tom enough said:)

DROP THE PERSONAL STUFF ALREADY!!!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!

[God]

You are all going to Hell for your scurilous attacks.

Lee and Sink are both good people who want to serve. The CFO can't raise taxes. A look at qualifications, and it's obvious who is the best candidate.

This poll was done by a rebublican and a democrat. If you don't like the poll result, go work for the candidate you want to support.

The hurdle for going to hell is a lot steeper than posting rantings ona blog.

Tom Lee up by 7. However, God forbid anyone talk about it. The media has turned this non-race into a race. How pathetic

The Donk's must be scared... this is their only chance to win and it is slipping Bank of America candidate coming up with "insufficient funds"

Both candidates are ethically sketchy.

CFO Tom Lee Nov. 8th!!!!!!!!!!!

AG Bill MCCollum Nov. 8th!!!!!!!!!!

good try SPT.

Where are you people living? Try to list the elected politicians in Tallahassee who are not adulterers. Start with the Gov. Very short list indeed.

If you cannot prove it don't post it

not so nice

1:05, who appointed you master of the blog? take your own advice, and shut up.

1:03

do me a favor and shut up!!
also remember BELIVEING IN JEAUS CHRIST DOES NOT MAKE YOU PERFECT BUT FORGIVEN!!! you all cant wait to pounce on someone who believes in Jesus and screws up, we are all human get that ..human the difference is there is forgivness in HIM..but you dont get it you are not the JUDGE of Tom Lee, and he is the better candidate by far.

GO TOM LEE I can not wait for you to win, becuase I cannot take these blogs a whole lot longer with such hateful judgemental people on them

There are more quacks on this blog than I would have thought possible. I have a suggestion for some of you. Spellcheck!!!

I would never want Alex Sink representing me ever, for the reason being of her beliefs are far left and that my friend will not fly and that is the truth!!! Once in the door look out for her... I hope and pray that will not happen and that Tom Lee wins.

This got way too personal way too quickly.

I don't see conservatives turning out for this election like they have in years past, for there doesn't seem to be a candidate or issue that will push them to the polls. Crist is winning the Governor's race through independent voters, not conservatives. There is not any evidence out there showing independents leaning towards Lee or McCollum in large numbers, which makes me think these races will be close. I say McCollum wins the AG race because of name recognition and Sink becomes CFO because her ads are pretty good and she has appeal to female voters.

2:36
all I can say is I hope you are wrong as far as the CFO race, becasue she truly is misleading the public with her ads coming off as a conservative which we all know she is not, I hope the Tom Lee campaign is counter acting those ads because they are pretty convincing I saw my first one yesterday, what a pack of lies.

.......

Good news for us. However I really like Tom Lee too - but at least one Democrat on the Cabinet is needed to provide for more challenging debate on the issues and to allow for more accountability, like good quotes when some on the Cabinet do stupid, unwise or unethical things.

Skip Campbell is a courtroom lawywe not a hack!I will make a deal..Lets do a mock trial on a complex legal issue and each side gets a lawyer.GOP gets Mc Collum..Dems get Skip//The jury is the average middle class ...I pledge 10000 to the Jeb bush pres campaign fund if Mc Cullum wins ..Its like geo forman vs a feather weight...NOT even close on qualificatin.Skip made has fortune representing FLORIDAS FARMERS who were devastated by Dupont..Ill vote for that guy any day

Alex Sink is conservative in finance and budget. There is a difference between conservative fiscally and conservative in other realms of political thinking.

I want someone in office who is conservative with my hard earned money. Alex will win.
