Alex Sink tops Tampa Bay Business Journal reader survey of governor’s race

in Statewide by

There are some changing tides in the still relatively lackluster race for the Governor’s Mansion. It was a whole different story in the last survey the newspaper did on this race in March, just after Lakeland state Sen. Paula Dockery announced. Bolstered in our nonscientific poll by urgings on her website, she took 47 percent, leading the pack. Alex Sink finished last among readers back then, with 7 percent of nearly 1,900 responses. Sink has bounced back strong with the…

Alex Sink revs up Democrats, takes jabs at Republicans

in Statewide by

Taking a few jabs at Republicans, and offering herself as an antidote to what Democrats see as extremism from the right in Tallahassee, Alex Sink began rallying Broward activists for her gubernatorial campaign. “The campaign season is in full force,” Sink told about 75 people at a Democratic Professionals Council lunch at the Riverside Hotel in Fort Lauderdale. Part of the reason politics is becoming front and center for people other than political activists – who live and breathe all…

Tom Dyer, publisher of Watermark, voice of LGBT community, takes Alex Sink to task for lackluster campaign

in Statewide by

From Tom Dyer, publisher of Watermark: Six months from now, we elect a new governor. The race between Republican Bill McCollum and Democrat Alex Sink started as a toss-up. Recent polling indicates that McCollum, a charmless perennial candidate who has lost more elections than he has won, has opened up a 10-point lead. Sink just fired her campaign manager, but there was further evidence of her strategic missteps at an April 5 fundraising event at Hamburger Mary’s in downtown Orlando.…

Since she can’t pick Darryl Rouson, shouldn’t Alex Sink’s choice for LG be the ‘non-winner’ of Dave Aronberg vs. Dan Gelber?

in Peter/Statewide by

Watching (or is it witnessing?) Democratic state Rep. Darryl Rouson interact with gubernatorial candidate Alex Sink as she toured several African-American churches in south St. Petersburg, it’s obvious that the two would make a helluva political team. Rouson and Sink are everything the other is not, and therefore, together, they are greater than what either of them could be individually.  Sink is almost perfect, open, patient, temperate, understanding; Rouson is flawed, but redeemed, fiery, sharp, empathetic.  Sink has the background…

Rick Skeletor, err, Rick Scott beating Alex Sink in latest Rasmussen poll

in Statewide by

Millionaire health care executive Rick Scott has bombarded the airwaves to launch his out-of-nowhere bid for governor of Florida, while both the long-running gubernatorial candidates seem to be slipping slightly in the polls. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Florida finds Republican Attorney General Bill McCollum continuing to hold a modest 43% to 35% lead over Democrat Alex Sink. Eleven percent (11%) like some other candidate in the race, and another 11% are undecided. The current…

Real Clear Politics composite: Bill McCollum 43%, Alex Sink 35.2%

in Statewide by

Attorney General Bill McCollum sports a 7.8% lead over Alex Sink in the RCP Average, and leads by nine, according to Mason Dixon. Sink has led in exactly one poll this cycle, so you have to consider McCollum the favorite, though not prohibitively so.
