Good.
Too easy to say “Sink is sunk”.

LOL! People hate Alex Sink and McCollum is a pretty decent guy. He is a typical amiable North Central Florida southerner.
This compares to that devious a*s Bill Nelson who is liberal Gomer Pyle cartoon of a N. Florida “cracker” with his incredibly phony folksiness.
Still, Alex Sink is getting killed by ObamaCare.
Oh yeah?
We’ll see how me amigos vote when they’re legalized. :)
Sink is also a proponent of flushing Florida’s economy to further the global warming hoax.
Crist hurt himself with his leftie stand on that manufactured crisis. I don’t know if McCollum is hitting Sink with that, but he ought to be pointing out frequently how many more jobs are heading for the shredder if GW kooks like Sink take the helm.
Dang, I was hoping I would get in first....LOL!
Bill Nelson is next...2012
Nelson should have been gone in 2006. The Republican Party establishment made a disaster of that election.
