"SNIP.....

A new CNN/SSRS poll in Florida finds Andrew Gillum (D) holds a wide 12-point edge over Rep. Ron DeSantis (R) in the race for governor, 54% to 42%.

In the U.S.  Senate race, Sen. Bill Nelson (D) leads Gov. Rick Scott (R) by five points, 50% to 45%.

1. Good! I hate Rick Scott almost as much as I hate Scott Walker.

[lpbk2713]

2. I love it.

I want my state back.

[OrlandoDem2]

3. Polls don't vote! People vote! Start voting tomorrow and get others to the polls!

Vote Democratic down the entire ballot.

4. Florida is hard to predict

Scott made a positive impression after Irma, and you'd think Michael would have presented him with the same opportunity. But I think the one issue that is around Scott's neck like an albatross is the Red Tide. His cuts to Florida Water Management + the release of all that algae = a red tide with beaches littered with dead fish on both coasts.

I hope these numbers hold. They are encouraging.

5. Rick Scott cut funding for environment studies in Florida.

His attacks on science and his hugging up to Big Sugar and the Phosphate industry in Florida have come back to bite him in the ass.

Florida has a complex ecosystem. A governor can not ignore or downgrade any part of it. Nutrients being released into seawater has devastated the huge tourism business in Florida and the damage will get worse if we don't elect Andrew Gillum. Gillum is the one who has the emotional balance and foresight to work fixes for Florida's competing industries and get the state back to where all of them are once again contributing to the state's economy and not damaging it.

6. Yes Florida is very hard to predict. My hope is we send more dems to state house to help him

Other wise it's going to be impossible for new legislation. We are very much the minority in both state house and state senate.
