| Description | TALLAHASSEE - Democrat Alex Sink has handily out-raised Republican rival Bill McCollum in the early stages of what could be the priciest race ever for Florida governor next year.
At least part of the explanation: hundreds of donors who in the past gave to Charlie Crist and other Republicans are rethinking which party to back in 2010 or are hedging their bets by also sending money to Sink.
Nearly 500 individuals who gave to Crist's 2006 gubernatorial campaign have crossed over and written checks for up to the $500 maximum to Sink this year, according to an Orlando Sentinel analysis of campaign-finance data.
Their contributions account for about $200,000 of the $4 million Sink has raised to date, bolstering Democratic optimism that she represents the party's best shot in a dozen years to win back the Governor's Mansion. |
