I've always considered those comments as having no relevance whatsoever to any specific name or identity - one way or the other. I would think and hope that the REAL "worth" of one's opinion - mine or otherwise, would or should be based soley upon the credible merits of that opinion - and nothing more. Whether one agrees or disagrees is clearly a choice for each individual to make. <br /><br />As for you being a third generation native Floridian, with no party affiliation - All that that means to me is that you're devoid of any and all ideologically defined values or principles, with little if any discernable convictions - who also happens to be from Florida.<br /><br />Have a good day.Al Pippinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09440180512781920091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-37665805886639890622010-08-25T11:12:29.143-05:002010-08-25T11:12:29.143-05:00I suppose our crosstabs from today's results w...I suppose our crosstabs from today's results will somewhat change your mind. With Scott as the nominee, Chiles actually takes slightly more of the GOP vote than he does of the Democratic vote, and a little more of the independent vote than against McCollum (with Sink leading indies by 9 regardless). Had McCollum won, Chiles would have polled much stronger, getting even proportions of both Democrats and Republicans.Dustin Ingallshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00599131416393266722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-67426693431963207392010-08-25T10:09:03.778-05:002010-08-25T10:09:03.778-05:00I am not sure what a comment is worth from someone...I am not sure what a comment is worth from someone that won't identify themselves, but I think they are totally wrong. I think the polling is the most accurate I have seen so far. As a 67 year old, third generation Native Floridian, with No Party Affiliation, who has followed Florida politics all his life, I don't beleive that Floridians are going to let a rich, shady, upstart that knows nothing about the history of this State,who has contributed nothing to the betterment of this State, buy the Governor's Mansion.Arnold E.

I foresee Rick Scott, in the coming weeks, opening up a somewhat comfortable lead over Sink, as Chiles fades into relative obscurity. Scott, I surmise, will win in November - going away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
