Cheat Sheet !
Funny thing about being an elected official and even a former elected official. Come election time, lots of your friends and acquaintances will ask your opinion on the ballot choices.
Here's my take ( sort of) :
... United States Senator
...... your real choice here is between a far left guy, a far right guy, and a guy who will be whatever you want him to be! ....some think Meeks will drop out and Crist will have a shot...I say no way that will happen....
I'm not offering an opinion on this race, but one thing I am sure of ... you should steer clear of this fringe U.S. Senate candidate pictured below.
U.S. Senate candidate Bobbie Bean
Bean's running on a kind of "fear the Muslims" platform, and says it's reasonable to think that Christians will soon have to hide in the closet to read the bible.
................................................................................................................................................................................................
........ Governor
..........between the Democrat Alex Sink and the Republican Rick Scott.
Scott totally lost me when he had his mother attend one of the debates for him because "everybody was picking on him" ..... Vote Sink
..........................................................................................................................................................................................
Attorney General
...... not a lot of pizazz in this race, a Dem and a Repub, but third party candidate and hometown boy Jim Lewis is running for it.... Of course Jim's run for about every elected position possible!
don't vote Jim - again
................................................................................................................................................................................................
Supreme Court Justices
.......... the ballot asks us " if we'd like to retain them" .... what kind of choice is that? ..I said NO
.................................................................................................................................................................................................
Issues
............ should we repeal campaign financing reform ......... No
............. should we give our military serving overseas extra homestead exemptions ...... hell Yes
............. should we have to set a referendum every time a city wants to change a Land Use Reg? ... No
............ should we stop politicians from changing boundaries around so they can get reelected... hell Yes
........... should we go back on our decision to keep classroom sizes small? ..... hell No
........... new Ethics laws for everyone? .....hell Yes
............ should we review the County charter less often than we do now? .... a final hell No
now you know what I think ..... if you cared ! .....Tim

I DO care, and consider your choices extremely intelligent and enlightened (because I agree with them and had already mailed in my ballot before I read them.)

It's hard to believe, but I actually agree with everything you said. What the hell is wrong with me?

Given your reasoning for choosing a governor for the state, I'd say that you have zero credibility overall. The simply fact that Sink is wrong on every issue shouldn't be a concern to you.
