Alex Sink running for Bill Young's old house seat

Let me tell you, Sinks 2010 race kept me in the world of politics, and I wouldn't be this political nutjob without her influence, so I don't care what office she is trying to get, I will make phone calls, try to canvass for her campaign, and enter data. This woman is the biggest reason I met a lot of wonderful people, and I hope she wins this congressional seat.

You go Ms. Sink and you win and you win big.

Polling has Jolly leading Brickfield and Hibbard; all three GOP choices are 20 points behind Sink.

I'm really not a fan of what Sink's doing here. Want to run for Congress? Great! The Florida Dems need strong candidates. Dennis Ross is polling behind Generic D - and his district actually has Thonotosassa in it. This just reeks of playing the game; running because you want power.

1. A large number of people who serve in congress and is elected do not live in the border lines of their congressional district.
2. Alex Sink was recruited by many top Democrats, including countless others sending her messages on facebook.
3. We both are for Charlie Crist, and we know why we're supporting him. He's a moderate who can beat Rick Scott's $100 million machine.

Okay seriously since when has Alex Sink been a white woman? For some reason, I've always been under the impression that Alex Sink was black and male. Didn't realize this correct until seeing JacobTiver's sig just now.

She's a white woman from North Carolina in her sixties tho

52%?!? Wow.. I didn't expect her to do so well.

[Flake]

My prediction (as someone who has a limited knowledge of Pinellas Politics):

Jolly: 39%
Peters: 36%
Bircher: 25%

[Flake]

David Jolly leading with 44% of the vote, Kathleen Peters receives 33%, Mark Bircher has 23%.

96% Reported, Jolly 45, Peters 31, and Bircher 24.

And it begins:



Early voters (about 120,000) went 49-46-5 Sink.

Much faster result reporting

My party is terrible. We need a complete overhaul of leadership.

Time to bump this horror-show of a thread.


Alex Sink is still considering a rematch against Jolly.

The article also mentions that Sink's internal polling always showed the race much closer than the public polls were saying (Much like McAuliffe's internals last year) and that Sink's camp primarily blames their loss on not getting the turnout they needed.

I love her, but she needs to stay out of politics.
