Actually, Rick Scott is leading McCollum in the polls. Here is some poll stuff if you are curious: http://blogs.tampabay.com/buzz/polls/ Both Scott and McCollum are campaigning on platforms of cutting taxes and cutting state spending, so you can draw your own conclusions about what that might mean for state universities. Bud Chiles is kind of a wild card. It's not clear how much he will take away from Sink.
