Alex Sink demonstrated how Democrats have to win statewide races. In the race for chief financial officer, she won more votes than Davis did and came within 40,000 votes of matching Crist’s total. She won more in North and Central Florida by getting voters to cross party lines and sounding more mainstream than Republican Tom Lee, whose voice for ethics and campaign reform will be missed in Tallahassee.
Pundits thought the Sink-Lee race would be close. Sink won by 7.4 percent. Sink was helped by her strong fundraising skills and lobbyists strong dislike for Tom Lee.
If Sink performs well as Chief Finacial Officer, I wouldn't be surprised if she runs for Governor or Congress.
