Qualifying opened today. We'll know by the end of tomorrow who the candidates will be - there's serious talk of State Rep. Kathleen Peters (R-South Pasadena) jumping into the race against Jolly.

Sounds like she will. She has a "major announcement" tomorrow morning.

A week or so ago, RRH equated this to PA-12 in 2010; an early Democratic win that gets their hopes up before a disappointing overall result in November.

Haven't they already held a debate though?

Yeah.

66K early votes have been cast. The split is 42R/39D/19I which is similar to the overall registration.

Yeah, sad about the accident but it shouldn't be held against him now.

National Republicans are really frustrated with Jolly:

Overby is getting 5%. Pretty good, as some were predicting his collapse.

Sink has to make up 3,150 votes over 7 precincts.

'Pretty much done.

The district was drawn for Bill Young, yes, but it is trending democratic fast.  It should have been a pickup for you guys, even in a low turnout election.  You could have, and should have won.  It is Sinks fault you didn't, simple as that.

Someone at RRH said that this seat would be more Democratic with a fair map, but others, like Murphy's, would get more Republican.

Democrats need to make this seat a priority in November, with Sink or otherwise. Jolly won't be entrenched and Crist will carry the district.

I'm working on a Sink vs. Obama map. On average, she ran 2.5% behind him in each precinct.

Ugh. A DCCC pollster says that Sink's performance was "about as good as we could have hoped for."

Again, the district voted as it was drawn to, it's not a huge surprise or difficult for a Republican to achieve. If anything, Republicans lost a lot of ground, Young won 57% of the vote in a presidential year, whereas Jolly won only 48% in a special. We can spin all day, but it doesn't mean anything in terms of November.
