Alex Sink knows what it is like to lose the governor's race.
Nearly seven years ago she stood next to her husband, Bill McBride, as the Tampa attorney conceded the 2002 election to incumbent Gov. Jeb Bush. Bush beat McBride 56 percent to 43 percent, becoming the first Republican governor in state history to win re-election.
"That was a very consuming experience for Alex and our family," McBride said. "She's seen the governor's race up close and personal. She's learned a lot of good lessons from it."
Now Sink is making her own bid, and a victory would make her Florida's first female governor. One lesson she appears to have learned is to avoid following in her husband's footsteps, although her Republican rivals may use the same strategy on her that they used on McBride. More here.
