The Democrats’ likely nominee for Governor of Florida, state Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink, didn’t wait for the general election to go up with her first television ad. It seems that the opportunity to mock the nasty Republican primary between state Attorney General Bill McCollum and former hospital executive Rick Scott was just too great to pass up.
Sink’s ad shows actors obviously portraying the two Republicans having a “no you are!” fight in what appears to be an elementary school classroom. The message is not subtle.
“Don’t know about you, but I’ve had just about enough of politicians attacking each other,” Sink says in the spot.
Polls have shown that Sink is benefiting from the how-low-can-you-go war on the Republican side, and with her first statewide TV ad, it’s clear Sink is happy to watchMcCollum and Scott go at it from afar.
Watch:
The primary is August 24. The TPM Poll Average shows Sink leading Scott and independent Bud Chiles in the general election, 34.3-27.9-15.8. With McCollum as the GOP nominee, the TPM Poll Average shows Sink leading 33.3-30.7-13.6.
