As we all know now, money can buy you poll position and political fame, but can money alone close the deal?
Kendrick Meek has gone across the state - campaigning the old-fashioned way. He has been to community centers and union halls. Can he turnout enough African-Americans and other dedicated Democrats to ward off all of Jeff Greene's money? Should Greene be worried that his lead seems to be closing even before Meek had to go up with television ads? The answer to both questions is yes. The Democratic turnout will define this primary race for U.S. Senate. Meek may have been down but he is nowhere near out. How Greene will use his resources to advance his own grassroots efforts will be critical to his success.
Rick Scott has surged to a lead in the Republican race for Governor, but McCollum has had a good week. Governor Jeb Bush's endorsement and campaign appearances are a big deal for McCollum. Since so many Republican activists and leaders support McCollum - will they be able to create enough turnout to catch Scott? Something has the Scott campaigned worried because they just put another 5 million into the race. Stay tuned.
