Rick Scott with small lead over Bill Nelson in new poll

[OrlandoDem1]

What is wrong with my fellow Floridians? And what is wrong with the Florida Democratic Party? The FL Dems are totally inept! Can we please win a statewide election or two without someone named Obama on the ballot? Yes, it’s early but Bill Nelson looks weak, old, and stale! He better get moving!!

1. I was in Orlando a couple of weeks ago

Scott was spending some big bucks on advertising. He was on the air constantly with a commercial promising to adopt term limits

2. Not in my neighborhood

3. I saw Nelson on CNNs gun forum

After the Parkland massacre. My thought then was: We’re probably going to lose the seat if Scott runs. Nothing has changed from my POV since then. I don’t pretend to know the ins and outs of precinct to precinct politics in Florida so DUers on the ground can feel free to correct me. My knowledge of Nelson is lacking. but I just get a bad feeling about this one with Scott involved.

4. IDK about precinct politics, but the Florida Democratic Party is less successful than the Utah Dems

or Mississippi Dems. Someone on a blog showed evidence that there are Democratic parties in deep red states more successful than the FDP over the past 20 years. Since 1998 only Alex Sink has won the CFO post and Nelson has won the Senate seat a few times. Obama ran his own machine here. The FDP must keep the Nelson seat and win a gubernatorial contest for once. This is a Blue Wave year and I fear we will lose both!!! Wake up, FL Dems, damnit! They must accountable!

5. I saw a recent Rick Scott TV ad.

The text of it was politicians can't be trusted.

Oh really? I need Rick Scott to tell me this?

6. Rick Scott is running against "career politicians" but he's becoming a career pol!

It’s time for the Fl Dems to take off the gloves and fight! Our state and nation depend on a Blue Wave!
