47. For Florida Govenor the message is "our Republican(D) is better than your Republican(R).

No joke. Our dem frontrunner for governor thinks Palin is inspirational and McCain is to be looked up to in politics. If any dem voters are looking for a message out of Florida, I suggest they look the other way. This is a state with excellent centrist dem candidates available and the party establishment has been working their asses off to get a republican elected. We are simply suppose to be thankful he isn't Scott.
