On the Senate race:
-
A new Zogby poll shows a tighter Senate race, with Rubio up by only 6 percent.
-
Florida GOP icon Jeb Bush weighs in on Charlie Crist’s new ad, in a statement: “Charlie Crist should be ashamed of his false attack against Marco Rubio on Social Security. Charlie Crist is purposely trying to scare seniors in order to win votes. … Crist used to believe that scaring seniors to win votes was wrong. I know this first-hand because in 1995 he spoke out forcefully in my defense when the very same kind of false attacks were made against me. It is sad that he has become so enamored with winning political office that he has abandoned the very principles that steered him into public service in the first place. I am disappointed, but can’t say I am surprised.”
Lots of movement on the gubernatorial front:
-
Democrat Alex Sink’s allies drop two new ads, Sink she won’t take public financing for her campaign, and she suggests her opponent is trying to buy the governorship.
-
Republican Rick Scott trains fraud allegations of his own on Sink in an advertisement and pulls endorsements from Miami’s Cuban-American U.S. congressmen.
-
Two new polls show Scott in the lead, by six points or by two points, depending on whom you believe.
