Florida Governor Race Election Results Rick Scott

Florida Governor

The 2010 Florida Governor Race has been a close one ever since the primaries ended. Polls showed Rick Scott and Alex Sink were running neck-and-neck the entire way. There was no reason to expect anything different on Election Day 2010.

The race ended up being even closer than the polls had shown. With 89% of the precincts reported, Republican Rick Scott lead Democrat Alex Sink by only 1 percentage point. Scott had 2,553,434 votes, while Sink had 2,500,510 as of 10:30 A.M. this morning. The exit polls didn’t show either candidate being heavily favored either. The only thing that could be noticed was the fact that 52% of independent voters supported Rick Scott, while only 42% supported Alex Sink.

Rick Scott has been declared the winner of the 2010 Florida Governor Race. Even though 100% of the election results had not yet been counted, Alex Sink conceded to Scott.

The Republican Scott will take over for current incumbent Governor Charlie Crist who lost the Florida Senate election to Republican Marco Rubio.

    I don’t trust our new governor. I do believe his company defrauded the Medicare and that he knew it. We should not allow people with questionable business practices be allowed to run for governor’s office.

    What’s shameful? If all the Democrat-leaning precincts were already counted, then Sink would have known that she almost certainly wouldn’t catch up.

    And if she somehow did, she could always retract her concession speech. It’s not as though she signed away her candidacy or something.

    Scott wasn’t quite the crook that the Sink campaign wanted us to believe he was, but he still makes me nervous. I guess we’ll find out what happens!

    Jennifer, if there are 30,000 votes left to count and a candidate is ahead by over 60,000 votes, it would be mathematically impossible to catch up. That’s the case here.

    Well it’s about time for PBC to get their election system better organized. As to Scott, I am happy to see someone who is not a career politician, and someone who has had a successful entrepreneurial experience. The fact that there is controversy, I am not so concerned. If there was any evidence to his involvement in illegal activities he would be in jail, not running for public office.

    If you want scary, take a look at 1.4 trillion that Pres Obama has spent on behalf of the American People in 1 year. All done with little or no concern to the will of the people. I find the “dictator-in-chief” much more of a threat to the Republic, which has provided freedom for over 200 years in America!

    All I can say is that the voters of Delaware had more sense than we, they rejected the ridiculous Tea Party candidate Christine O’Donnell. On the other hand, I must say that the Democratic and Republican parties of Florida have done the electorate of Florida a monumental disservice in giving us the dregs of the party to vote for, rather than the best and brightest. I’m an independent and voted for all Republicans but two, and one was Mr. Megafraud himself, Rich Scott.

    I agree with Christina Macon, this is really an emabarrassment to our state. I also agree with politicalskeptic that those who are in had better prove themselves quickly and competently, because recall is a viable option. . .

    Sink lost because: 1)She offered no specifics.2)She failed to blame Crist and the Republican legislature for the severe problems in Florida…During the mistake
    that the Unemployment Compensation had in the summer by delaying checks
    after the Obama extension…she failed to address it,…..her name is on the actual check but the delay was caused by a Crist appointee…I personally offered her this information at a rally in Tampa and she refused to take it. Only in Florida could
    a big crook get elected Governor..!!!!!

    Mindless sheep. Amazing, how many of you actually researched the politcal smear campaign against Scott? I would bet, none. Because if you had, you would not be saying what you are saying. See an ad on tv and believe it…mindless sheep. I did my research on him, and what was smeared against him. The lawyers wrote the ad’s up very wisely with thier wording. Do some research on him and what actually happened instead of believing whatever you simply hear. Now, lets get to work!

    Sorry, but I am 64, not senile, and never watch Fox news. On the other hand, I didn’t vote for Rick Scott either, but would have voted for a Republican that was honorable.

  • Anonymous

    The evidence was he paid 1.7 billion in fines to avoid prison, but then I am not surprised the republican base is nothing but criminals anyway. As far as him not being a career politician, don’t kid yourself he knows exactly how to play the game and Florida is going to get screwed in the process. When those who voted for Scott start to complain about things not going the way they want, keep your mouths shut because you sold your souls to the devil!!

    I would like to remind everyone that we live in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA where voting is one of our many privileges and choices. We have no right to criticize voters or tell them who to vote for. That’s their constitutional right and we don’t live in a communist country. I understand that all votes have not been counted (every vote does and should count) but Alex Sink has conceded. Let’s be civil americans, work together and support our new governor. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

    Many people here speak as if their running Sinks’s smear campaigns, or are simply immaturly squabbling over the opinions they hold true. So i would like to clear a few things up; 1. if there were any definate proof that Scott had any action in the medicare fraud, HE WOULD BE IN JAIL! 2. Alex sink supports “obama care” which as a 44% STRONG disapproval rating, and a 28% approval rating. 3. Though Rick scotts morals may be questionable, Alex sink’s success as govenor would be just as questionable- Both Scott and Sink ran countless ads BEYOND that of recent elections. Neither Scott or Sink ran honest campaigns, they both chose to mudsling ignoring the facts.

    (Specifically to amee misty and jennefer) This is a POLITICAL “debate” online even, and still you cannot maintain any form of political sense, you simply lost controll and spoke of a childish mannor, there is no room for anyone of your veiws in politics, your voice should be unherd, your comments should be erased

    Sink is so non-specific she doesn’t even use her real name. (It’s not Alex, and she apparently doesn’t want anyone to link her to her husband, who ran for governor and lost as well) You also might want to look into Scott’s “criminal activity”. He bought the company that committed the fraud before he acquired it.

    To all of you that place blame on “old folks” for all the things wrong with our country , perhaps you need to recall how this country and our freedoms came about. Respect for our senior citizens has been earned by their blood, sweat and tears. Society has made more advances in the past 100 years than in all previous times. The greatest country on earth and a good life have been handed to you on a silver platter. You had best thank God for the older generation and start tryin to figure out what contributions you are going to make.

    If multiple felony convictions, over $2 billion in fines and lawsuit settlements, and finally being forced to resign are you idea of a successful enterprise, I can’t wait to hear your idea of being a successful governor.
    And, Jim, he was CEO of the firm that was found guilty – if he didn’t have anything to do with the fraud, that meant he was unaware of what was happening in his company – which means that, once again, he did not have a “successful entrepreneurial experience.” So you’re either going to get a governor who is incompetent or actively criminal. I’m not sure which to hope for.

    I am surprised people let this man steal this election. You all complain that Alex Sink was a career politician, yet her position as Chief Financial Officer was her first elected office. You Tea Party’ers complain you are not for Republican or Democrats yet Republicans have run Florida for the Last 12 years. Jeb Bush was a Republican and Charlie Crist was a Republican when elected. You forced him out of the Republican party when he listened to the teachers who teach your children. You proved with this vote you do not really care about the fact that Florida has a 13% jobless rate because of Republican decisions in Florida government. Alex Sink was just a dedicated business woman who had to adhere to these Republican decisions. Rick Scott stole your Medicare/Medicaid money and used 70 million dollars of it to buy your vote. You just gave a crook the combination to the safe. When you find your Social Security being used to boost the stock market and you find your Medicare/Medicaid further diminished, remember you voted this guy in over a heart and soul Floridian like alex Sink. Be forewarned.

    He is not in jail because his company bartered a deal to pay the largest fine in history. Then theboard od trustees of his own company forced him to resign. He was happy too because he already had the money in offshore investments. Next time maybe you should actually read up on the people running for office and not vote because a black man is President.

    Yes, exactly how everyone supported President Obama. He has been called the “devi”l and “hitler” because he did what he said he would do all along.
