Brian P. Moore, the Socialist Party’s candidate for president in 2008, polled more than 200,000 votes in yesterday’s Democratic gubernatorial primary in Florida.
With approximately 92 percent of the statewide precincts reporting, Florida’s Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink was garnering 664,183 votes to 199,623 for Moore, who waged an under-funded and low-key campaign for the state’s highest office.
Moore was polling 23.1 percent of the vote.

I was quite impressed with Moore’s performance in this race. Had I lived in Florida during the election, I would have voted for Moore.
Not bad. As Florida has a closed primary this shows that a fair percentage of Democrats are unhappy with the status-quo (in addition to the Republican Tea-Partiers). Not sure anything can really be changed from within, but I’ll take whatever works.
