From OrlandoSentinel.com:
Republican Bill McCollum’s relentless criticism of a federal health-care reform bill and his willingness to sue to block it appear to be paying dividends with Florida voters.
The attorney general and leading GOP candidate for governor has moved out to a double-digit advantage over Democrat Alex Sink since last June, garnering an edge of 49 percentage points to 34 percentage points in the latest Mason-Dixon poll released Monday.
Last June, the lead for McCollum, a 20-year Congressman and three-time statewide candidate with far higher name recognition than Sink, was just 6 points, fanning Democratic exuberance that the party had its best shot in decades at retaking the Governor’s Mansion.
