Pollster says President Bush hurting state's GOP governor candidates
Associated Press

TALLAHASSEE -- President Bush's plunging popularity seems to be affecting Florida's race for governor, with two little-known Democratic candidates in a statistical dead heat with a pair of Republicans who hold statewide offices, a poll taker said Wednesday.

U.S. Rep. Jim Davis of Tampa and state Sen. Rod Smith of Alachua, both Democrats, are running strong, though four of five registered voters didn't know enough about either one to offer a positive or negative opinion, said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.

``Nobody knows who the gubernatorial candidates are,'' Brown said. ``That's pretty remarkable.''

A poll of 1,086 registered voters taken May 15-22 shows Davis ahead of either Attorney General Charlie Crist or Chief Financial Officer Tom Gallagher 40 to 37 percent. That left about 20 percent undecided. Crist edged Smith 39 to 37 percent while Gallagher led Smith 39 to 35 percent.

14. But when you see who's supplying the voting machines
and how they can be rigged, you won't be too happy.

Please got to FL a LOT this summer, George! :evilgrin:

I would love for him to come and Campaign for Sonny Perdue (R-GA Gov.). Only the hardcore greedy, asshole, white guy and fundy base still supports Bush in GA. DimSon is below 50% approval in GA too!

12. Bush has hurt the rest of us nationwide.
If people wake up and vote for Democrats in response, I would think that would be a good thing. Yeah, let's turn Florida blue.
