Did Alex Sink run on austerity and cutting SS in Florida?
I haven't paid any attention to that race but if Daily Kos is right I could see why the turnout for her would be low.
"And in this case, I don't blame our base voters. When Democrats like Alex Sink run on austerity, cutting Social Security and bringing back the Simpson-Bowles Catfood Commission, well, no one is inspired." Snippet from this article:

Edited to add this from madfloridian which answered my question.
