With accusations that she's run a lackluster campaign (and a new poll that shows her still trailing GOP challenger Bill McCollum by double digits), the Florida Democratic Party on behalf of gubernatorial candidate Alex Sink has produced their first television ad of the 2010 season, and it's pretty mild, all things considered. See it here:

With twenty years of voting on issues, there's plenty of low-hanging fruit for Team Sink to attack the current AG on. For now, though, it appears they're going for something that they hope can outrage the average citizen, who as we know polls show, is keeping an extremely disdainful attitude about anybody attached to Congress, present or past (which is also why McCollum attacks Sink as a "national Democrat", though Sink has never lived in D.C.).

Back to the Rasmussen poll – Sink trails McCollum by 13%. The most striking number out of the survey is that she is down big with independents.

Oh, lest we forget, the Republican Governors Association released a 15 second ad on Tuesday bashing Alex Sink. It's part of the "ad wars" that the Associated Press is reporting is costing cost both groups at least $100,000.
