Republican gubernatorial candidate Rick Scott, along with CFO candidate Senate President Jeff Atwater, released a web video on Tuesday, showing the two men in Jacksonville on Election Day, encouraging their backers to come out and vote. Scott clearly sounds optimistic saying, We think were going to win big. Most polls show Scott in a close battle with Democratic nominee Alex Sink.

As the last voters make their way to voting booths Tuesday, a Sunshine State News Poll of the previously tick-tight gubernatorial race shows Rick Scott leading Alex Sink in pull-away fashion, 49-45 among likely voters, and 50-44 among those with an excellent chance of voting.
Overshadowed by a razor-tight governors race and a three-way contest for an open U.S. Senate seat, several Florida congressional races are being eyed closely by national political watchers for having the potential to determine who controls Congress.
Thanks to the 2000 presidential election debacle -- most of it centered here in Florida -- both major parties have amassed a storehouse of legal firepower. As voters head to the polls Tuesday, judicial decisions and the mere presence of lawyers have already affected some midterm elections across the country.
An explosive radio ad produced for Alex Sink's campaign says Republican Rick Scott "does not want [Hispanics] to speak Spanish or English with an accent."
The ad, in Spanish, portrays a father and his daughter stopped by a police officer, who demands to see their "papers." The script:
(Sound of police car siren)
Girl's voice: Dad, pull over, you are being stopped for speeding.
Father: I am sorry officer it looks like I was speeding.
Officer: Do you speak English? I need to see your papers.

Rick Scott pulled his big bus into a small-business parking lot in West Palm Beach on the eve of Election Day. He's in a tight race with Alex Sink, hoping he can get his supporters --or at least those against Alex Sink and Democrats -- to the polls.
With a flurry of new polls showing the gubernatorial race extremely close, state CFO and Democratic candidate Alex Sink and Republican nominee businessman Rick Scott crossed the state Monday, beating the drums to rally their supporters to the polls.
Heading into what appears to be a disastrous midterm election, the Obama Democrats profess to be puzzled. The president's record, they insist, is moderate, accommodating -- if anything, overcautious. So why do most American voters seem to be angrily rejecting it?
Florida Republican U.S. Rep. Connie Mack, the ranking Republican on the U.S. House Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere, weighed in on the election of Dilma Rousseff as president of Brazil.
Im hopeful that the election of Ms. Rousseff will allow our relationship with Brazil to move forward and lead to greater security and prosperity in the region, said Mack. Cooperation with this important player in Latin America is a key to U.S. foreign policy in the region, and it is my hope we will be able to strengthen our partnership with Brazil under Ms. Rousseff.
