With two polls released on Monday morning, each one showing a different candidate ahead in the Republican gubernatorial primary, Rick Scott just released a web video in a last-minute effort to encourage his supporters to get out to vote on Tuesday. Its a clear choice, says Scott in the video before attacking Attorney General Bill McCollum for backing the raising of taxes 42 times.

Heartened by two polls released on Monday morning that showed him ahead of Jeff Greene by double digits in the race for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate, U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek appeared on MSNBCs The Daily Rundown with Chuck Todd. Meek, who was in Tampa, seemed confident about victory on Tuesday -- though he continued to avoid saying whether he would back Greene if he won the Democratic nomination.

In stark contrast to the Public Policy Polling poll released Monday, a poll released by Quinnipiac University finds different results. While the PPP poll had Rick Scott ahead of Attorney General Bill McCollum in the Republican gubernatorial primary contest, Quinnipiac had McCollum slightly ahead -- 39 percent to 35 percent.

Public Policy Polling released a poll Monday looking at Tuesdays primary races. A poll of 304 Republicans taken on Aug. 21 and 22 with a margin of error of +/- 5.6 percent had Rick Scott ahead of Bill McCollum in the battle for the Republican gubernatorial nomination. The poll had Scott with 47 percent and McCollum at 40 percent.

About eight months ago, the New York Times said Marco Rubio could be the "first senator from the tea party." But in an article published Sunday, the Gray Lady suggests the Republican U.S. Senate candidate is taking a different approach than other tea-party-minded candidates looking to shake up Washington. Instead of simply being anti-Washington, Rubio is making it a point to support some policies as well.

Clearly, there's no love lost between the Republican Party of Florida and gubernatorial candidate Rick Scott. RPOF Chairman John Thrasher issued a stinging e-mail Sunday evening, accusing Scott of orchestrating "a multifaceted campaign of misinformation in an effort to mislead Florida voters and confuse the facts surrounding the arrest and indictment of Jim Greer as well as the partys financial situation and preparedness to support our candidates as we move toward the November election."

In the final hours before the primary on Tuesday, U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek continues to wrap himself around the Democratic establishment as he battles Jeff Greene for the Democratic nod for the U.S. Senate race. Meeks wife, Leslie, attended church services on Sunday with Grace Nelson, the wife of U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson. Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, best known for his stint as DNC chairman and his 2004 presidential campaign, wrote Democrats on Sunday, urging them to rally behind Meek.

Despite the muggy weather, Sen. Dan Gelber of Miami Beach, in a tight battle with Sen. Dave Aronberg of Greenacres, campaigned on Monroe Street on Tallahassee on Saturday, across from the Capitol. Surrounded by family, campaign staff and volunteers, Gelber waved at passing cars, shook the hands of early voters and led a round of cheers at passing cars with his bumper stickers. Its an extra opportunity to get to the voters, said Christian Ulvert, Gelbers campaign manager, who emphasized the importance of having the candidate at an early voting event.

Brian Moore, who is running in the Democratic gubernatorial primary as a heavy underdog against state CFO Alex Sink, said on Saturday that he will ask independent gubernatorial candidate Bud Chiles to serve as his running mate in the unlikely event he wins the primary on Tuesday.

Having campaigned with former President Bill Clinton on Monday, U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meeks bid for the Democratic nomination in the U.S. Senate election is getting another lift from the former president who recorded a call going out to Florida Democrats this weekend.

In addition to fielding 21 of its own candidates statewide, the TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Party is endorsing several other hopefuls in the primary. In a press release, TEA said it was recommending these "real Republicans for the GOP nomination": Congress: Ross Bieling in CD 8 and Deon Long in CD 24. Both seats are held by freshman Democrats. State Senate: Charles Perniciano in SD 8 (RPOF Chairman John Thrasher's seat). State House:
