I don't know about that, but, here's my big prediction for the FL gov race:

Despite all the concerns about insurance, expect to hear a LOT about RACE in the upcoming gov race, and don't be surprised if more blacks vote GOP. Jim Davis, the Dem candidate, actually voted AGAINST giving compensation to two black men convicted but later found innocent of murder; while the GOP candidate, Crist, pushed for more power for the FL AG (and Crist is the FL AG) to investigate civil rights violation.

I was shocked at how nasty the Dem ads got in the primary, as Rod Smith really hammered home this point about Davis' poor voting record, especially against these black men. And, I think Davis will be toast when the GOP picks up on that theme.

I also think that's one reason Smith did much better than expected; it was a very powerful anti-Davis message to independents (I am independent), and an anti-Davis message that is sure to resonate in the upcoming gov race.

BTW, it will certainly help Crist to have Florida's Favorite Governor, Jeb Bush, endorsing him in this race. In short, I am predicting a total landslide for Crist in November, provided the conservative base turns out for him.

PS Independents don't vote in FL primaries; but, I was implying that if it was in fact very powerful to independent ears such as mine, it surely swayed some Dem voters over to Smith's side, too.
