There was never any question about the victors in the Democratic gubernatorial primary or the Republican senatorial primary and Alex Sink and Marco Rubio will be moving on to the November ballot respectively.
Kendrick Meek has also been declared the winner of the Democratic senatorial primary. With more than a third of precincts reporting, he's blowing out Jeff Greene by a 55-42 margin.
The gubernatorial primary is still close, with Rick Scott holding a surprising 2 point lead over Bill McCollum, the GOP insider who had been favored in many polls to win the primary. About 40 percent has reported in that race.
In House races: Taliban Dan Webster will be Alan Grayson's opponent and incumbent Democrat Alan Boyd has a tiny 2 point lead against challenger Al Lawson with about half the precincts reporting.
Update By Steve Singiser: One other House race in Florida is an upset in the making. Apparently the late ugliness between Ruths Chris CEO Craig Miller and Karen Diebel has allowed a candidate that spent half of what they did (state Rep. Sandy Adams) to move into a narrow lead with 62% of precincts reporting.
