and the race was actually close (47.7% to 48.9%) especially considering that Scott put $75Million of his own money into the campaign. But, indeed, 2010 sucked for Dems.

He is (and was last November) very unpopular. Sink failed to make a case that she would be a better choice.

lamestream media (Palin's broken clock moment) never mentioned medicare fraud until after election (Bay News 9 mentioned it the next day)

The other three or four parties split the vote.

it seems to be one of the better papers around here. None of the stations I watch mentioned it until after the election. But then, I don't watch that much TV. Thanks, my bad.

1. 2010 was a horrible year for Democrats.
Tea Party Express.

2. Alex Sink was a terrible candidate who ran a pathetic campaign.
Not from what I read or saw.
Do you have anything to back that up? She hit him pretty hard on his links with Columbia/HCA.
