The Florida Gubernatorial race is literally too close to call at right now but if it were up to Florida's major Newspaper editorial boards, Alex Sink would be our next Florida Governor.

The Florida Gubernatorial race is tight. Democrat Alex Sink was ahead slightly in the polls last week, but Rick Scott has retaken the lead in Nate Silver's latest forecast.

Florida's 12th district is an open seat being vacated by Republican Adam Putnam. Democrat Lori Edwards has a real chance to flip this seat in a 3 way race in which a Tea Party candidate is splitting votes with the GOP primary winner.

Lori Edwards is the current Supervisor of Elections for Polk County which comprises about 65 percent of this central Florida district on the I-4 corridor. She has excellent name recognition and proven electability.

Democratic staffer is pulled off the campaign trail for safety

Allen West and Joe Miller: Thugs of a Feather

The Joe Miller arrest of a reporter by his private militia on the campaign trail is rightfully garnering national headlines. Meanwhile, down in Florida, he-man GOP tea party House candidate Allen West is acting every bit as thuggish, perhaps more so.

I got a chance to meet and say a few words to Alan Grayson at a GOTV event on Saturday. I thanked him for the work he's doing to protect consumers in the growing mortgage / foreclosure fraud crisis. His response was modest and simple:

"Somebody has to do it"

This is going to be short - as I write this a few hours before posting, I'm still hoping to get an hour or two of sleep before heading off to Orlando for a big AFL-CIO labor walk on Saturday morning. We'll be canvassing, knocking on the doors of Central Florida union households to GOTV deep in the district of the true working families champion Congressman Alan Grayson.

Florida's 22nd district was at the center of the Florida recount fiasco which allowed George Bush to seize the presidency and it is currently ground zero in the battle for the House as Karl Rove and Sarah Palin team with tea partying war criminal and carpetbagging GOP young gun candidate Allen West in an attempt to buy this seat.

Lieutenant Colonel Allen B West (US Army War Criminal, Ret) is not a witch. Allen West is a macho hetero Spartan warrior with a higher security clearance than the President. He's into Nazis and movies about gladiators, likes to dabble in torture, is a favorite of Sarah Palin, and, of course, he's a deadbeat who's running on a platform of fiscal responsibility.

In the race for Florida Senate it's crunch time, and the latest polls show our candidate Kendrick Meek surging as Dems come home and No Party Charlie Crist slips to an inevitable third place finish.

Crist’s support has now dropped 10-points since May, while Rubio and Meek have each made gains. In essence, Crist is bleeding Democrats to Meek and independents to both Meek and Rubio. It is also noteworthy that Crist’s statewide support has fallen below the 30% threshold, leaving him far short of the minimum required to win a three-way race under the most perfect circumstances (34%).

Meek is behind but trending in the right direction. But here's the thing - Charlie Crist is looking less and less electable every day - his downward trajectory in the polls is not going to turn around. The only way to keep Marco Rubio out of the Senate at this point is to help Kendrick Meek pull off an upset victory.

Marco Rubio, son of working class immigrants, Republican US Senate candidate and, of course, a hero, is facing questions stemming from spending decisions made during his reign as Speaker of the Florida House.

In 1992, a Freshman Republican was elected to represent the Miami area in the US House. The GOP majority in the Florida legislature district had just designed his district as a safe Republican South Florida "Hispanic access seat." His name: Lincoln Diaz-Balart.

In 2002, a Freshman Republican was elected to represent the Miami area in the US House. As the chair of the redistricting panel in the GOP led State House in 2001, he had personally designed his own safe Republican South Florida "Hispanic access seat." His name: Mario Diaz-Balart.

The Balart brothers might have been elected anyway, but the districts that were drawn for / by them virtually guaranteed them easy wins.

This November, Florida voters will have a chance to enact meaningful changes to a redistricting process that has historically been a gerrymandering free for all.

Amendments 5 and 6 are citizen initiatives that will enshrine fair redistricting rules into the state constitution, forcing an end to the practice of lawmakers custom designing their own voter pools.
