Let the Race Begin

September 7th, 2010 by flanews

Two of the three top candidates for US Senate are releasing ads telling voters why they should pick them. With just two months until the General Election, the ads are upbeat and positive, but as Whitney Ray tells us, it’s only a matter of time before the mudslinging begins.

Independent candidate for Senate Governor Charlie Crist proves he’s can spell in his first campaign ad. Huge block letters spell the words Democrats and Republicans. Crist takes letters from each and spells Americans; but Republicans say he should have choose another word.

“I think what he really should be spelling is opportunist. I think people can see straight through that ad,” said RPOF Spokeswoman Katie Gordon Betta.

Democrat for Senate Kendrick Meek, rides an air boat, a speed boat, and a bus to separate himself from the pack, in his first ad for the general election. Meek is still riding the momentum from his primary win, which motivated a lot of doubting Democrats to jump on his band wagon.

But behind the scenes it’s put out or get out as a lot of high ranking Democrats wait to see if Meek can produce better numbers. The latest polls show a dead heat between Crist and Rubio, with Meek getting between 14 and 17 percent of the vote. Democratic strategists say the next two weeks are crucial for Meek.

“His question is going to be money. Marco is sitting on a big bank. Crist is sitting on a big bank. Kendrick now has to reload after a very difficult primary, but what Kendrick has that the other don’t is, he has momentum,” said Steve Vancore with VancoreJones Communications.

Republican Marco Rubio launched this ad about his family history late last month. The ad praises his dad, who passed away this weekend at 83. His campaign is taking a break to grieve.

Marco Rubio’s Campaign will be back in full swing Thursday, in the mean time the National Republican Senatorial Committee is taking on Crist saying the governor will say or do anything to get elected.
