No election in Florida should ever be considered a "Democrats election to lose." The state party is weak, and the Scott machine has an incredible money machine.

...no. There's no way you could have gotten "giving up" from my comment. I'm simply saying that we can't expect the DEMS to win an election just because the DEM candidate is leading in the polls. The repubs have more money and advertising dollars and can sway voters. I'm kinda hoping you were joking by your comment. You were joking, right?
