FL GOV not over yet!!!
Sink has closed to within 3... 47-50. 72% reporting. Keeping fingers crossed... A Sink veto pen is all that will keep a repuke legislature from running amok.

6. Won't do any good because
I have come to the conclusion that if there is a God He is not looking out for this country. Because if He was the republicans would not have taken the house as CNN has said.

7. something has crossed my mind.
I wondered how it was possible that Miami came in so early, then it occurred to me that it behooves the Repubs to make it look like they're winning to get Sink to concede early. Just like they did to Gore and Kerry. Do you think Alex Sink will wait until the last vote is counted?

8. If that were the case, Palm Beach or Broward would've come in early.
Miami's only so-so Democratic.

10. That's what I mean.
The Repubs would throw all their "positive" numbers at us early on to make it look like they're ahead. They took Dade early in the night and went with those numbers.

12. Sink is tough.
I don't foresee her conceding until there's no doubt that she lost and she will want ALL those votes counted with it being so close.

14. I just need someone even halfway decent. Allen West is now my congressman.
Marco Rubio is my senator. What planet am I on?

15. Seriously, though.
I don't feel I ever had anyone representing me in Florida since Bob Graham's days. It's one of the reasons why I have become fiercely independent. There really is no connection to either party.

19. Did you notice that Palm Beach County only has 20% counted?
Is it possible she can pull it off with those votes alone?

22. 90% reporting - still 47-50 (Sink trailing)
She's holding that gap, but unable to gain. Time running out. Fingers still crossed.
