One More Day

November 3rd, 2014 by flanews

We are less than 24 hours from Election Day in Florida, and as Matt Galka tells us, there’s no clear cut leader for the Governor’s race and plenty of last day drama.

Soon, the ads will stop dominating the airwaves. Either incumbent Governor Rick Scott or former Governor Charlie Crist will be declared the winner after tomorrow, but right now it’s too close to call.

The final Quinnipiac poll released Monday gives Crist a 1 percent edge heading into Election Day, but it’ll all come down to turnout.

Record breaking early voting gives Republicans about a 100,000 vote advantage. Political scientist Carol Weissert says that the Dems are in a pretty good position.

“I wouldn’t take it to the bank at this point, Republicans do like to vote absentee or early voting more than Democrats. It’s one sign but I wouldn’t take it as the only sign,” she said.

Neither side is comfortable. The Governor and his wife ponied up about 12 million of their own money into the campaign. The money comes from a blind trust fund – investments the Governor is unaware of but money he has access to.

In a statement, the Governor responded to using his own money by saying “We needed to offset the $15 million dollar smear campaign against me by a radical, liberal, out-of-state billionaire.” He was referencing a California environmentalist who has been donating to Crist’s campaign.
