I'm on the outside looking in, I confess, I'm from Texas, but am utterly fascinated with the prospect that Alex Sink will become the first woman governor of Florida. Comparisons with Ann Richards, the first woman governor of Texas (1990-1994), are inevitable. Ann had a feistiness and spirit about her that Alex Sink shares. And against some negative odds, I believe Alex Sink will prevail on Tuesday.

Polls fluctuate daily, if not hourly, in this battle with Republican candidate Rick Scott. Averages are running at 46% for Alex Sink and 46% for Rick Scott. That would place 8% of the Floridian voters as undecided, a large percentage only two days before the election. Recent polling of Independents suggests that they are trending Republican, but I don't believe this pattern is a proper fit to Florida. The Sunshine State is a wildcard, always has been.

What's impressive is that despite some recent small potholes in the road, Alex Sink has continued to trend upward. The problem with the cell phone text message that was read shortly before the last debate has not translated into a significant backlash for Sink. Floridians have wisely stayed focused on the issues before them-jobs, education, immigration, health care and energy. These inconsequential sidebars are empty pathways, dead-end roads that lead to snapping alligator pits of triviality.

1. voting 4 her but wish the other primary person who was more progressive had won

alex is centrist and maybe even right but not a lefty in my opinion - not sure what we are getting with her - scott would be a disaster

4. +1 I really don't like her that much, but she's better than the alternative.

8. Are you serious? Jeff Greene is every bit as scary as Rick Scott.

it's a nailbiter here regardless of the Meek situation. Rove's machine has spent BIG money against FL dems focusing on Grayson's race. here's a story on that:

9. I already voted for Sink and for Meek, voted a straight "D" ticket

Having Alex Sink for Governor might alleviate the pain of having Rubio for senator. I can only hope that a scandal or outright crimes will come to light that will cause Rubio to resign and let our Democratic Governor appoint a replacement!
