Could Sink vs. McCollum be a snooze?

ORLANDO — After so many tumultuous Florida elections, maybe it's time for a snoozer. Bill McCollum vs. Alex Sink for governor might just provide the anxious and economically ravaged Sunshine State with a giant, calming dose of Ambien.

McCollum, the Republican attorney general, and Sink, the Democratic chief financial officer, turned up for their first political forum Friday evening and sounded pretty much identical.

"We need to take this moment as a state to retool, to rethink where we are," McCollum said, stressing that he thought Florida's economy is starting to turn around.

"It's time to get our state a fresh start to build a new foundation for our state, a foundation that just doesn't rely on visitors and our next housing bubble," Sink said, stressing that she thought Florida's economy is starting to turn around.

McCollum nailed it. There is no more apt description of the next gubernatorial cycle as a chance for Florida to "retool."

You are just now figuring out that both candidates are boring and lack vision?

" . . .a new foundation . . ." theme has of course been used before and found wanting. Of course, being unable to "recall" her votes on the class size amendment or amendment one to cut taxes leaves many of us wondering.

OBAMA HIKES 10-YEAR DEFICIT TO $9 TRILLION They just announced late Friday afternoon that it is 2 trillion more than they thought it would be and these fools want us to trust their Obamacare numbers. Some people will believe anything because the people who voted for Obama are fools with their head in the sand. He has never run anything before and has no experience ever running anything and these fools elected him to run the USA. Obama is nothing more than a community organizer and gangster from Chicago and that's about it folks and it shows. I wouldn't hire him to run a Seven Eleven store. Pelosi is in charge and is running this country folks and Obama is just a talking head with a teleprompter.

SINK IS NOTHING MORE THAN A MILLIONAIRE AND FORMER BIG BANKER AND HER HUSBAND IS A BIG TIME TRIAL LAWYER. THESE ARE THE VERY TYPES THAT GOT US INTO THE BANKING AND HEALTHCARE PROBLEMS WE NOW HAVE. WHAT A JOKE TO LET THE FOX WATCH THE CHICKENS HERE IN FLORIDA.

Alice, Alice...

Go enjoy another glass of Kool-Aid while relaxing on your beautiful astro-turf.

I understand your fear of a president who speaks in complete sentences and doesn't make up words as he goes along. That has to be unsettling for you, what with the eight years of happiness you came from knowing that your president, that last guy, was in no way capable of being smarter than you and your ilk. And this new guy tells the truth, even if it isn't the best news. That has to be a shock to your system for sure.

It will be okay. It's alright. You just have to understand that America has gotten smarter. The Country is giving up on the 'me first at all costs' attitude and is starting to care for their neighbors again. America is back. Selfishistan is gone.

I'm sure you will be okay Alice. Maybe one of your 'Big Pharma' friends can give you a little pill to make you feel better. Of course that's only if your current insurance plan covers it. And then they may want to drop you because of the pre-existing condition.

Oh well. Good luck with that.

Ironic, isn't it? A tool like McCollum says it's time to "re-tool".

[Paul D. Harvill]

Ambien?

Only after the end of a long campaign day.

This race will be like being on crystal meth soon enough.

Caring neighbor, BO recently used the word "Wewe" in a statement. He had better stick to the teleprompter!

Alex Sinks supports ObamaCare.
