Sunburn – The morning reading of what is hot in Florida politics.

By Peter Schorsch, Phil Ammann, Daniel McAuliffe, Jim Rosica, and Drew Wilson.

Just Out of the Field is a new St. Pete Polls survey commissioned by Florida Politics which is sure to reset the current narrative in the GOP primary for the Attorney General.

After being on television for more than a month – and with the state representative Jay Fant out of the race – Pensacola legislator Frank White now has a margin in out of the margin of error on the former circuit judge Ashley Moody .

White is 26%, while Moody is 19 .

This is a marked difference from St. Pete Polls, earlier temperature record of the A.G. breed ; In June (and with Fant still in the game), Moody was at 15% and White was a point behind her.

Note also in this survey: check the favorable / unfavorable numbers of White. It's at 32/7, although Moody is not too bad at 23/6

With numbers like this, the question now becomes: when can Moody get up on TV? Because if she does not do it soon, she may not be able to get her head back.

– @ RepDeSantis : For 22 years, the families of Armando Alejandre, Mario de la Peña, Carlos Costa, and Pablo Morales have asked for justice. Failure to hold Raúl Castro accountable for his role in the killing of these men only serves to signal to our enemies that their crimes will not be disputed.

@ Shawnfor63 : Please, keep my friend and former competitor Rep. Mark danish in your prayers while he is recovering from a stroke. He is a good man despite his policy ? Speedy recovery Rep!

@ChrisHongTU : Hate mail in response to the Times-Union's new online payment system is a great example of how badly newspapers have gone about giving their work online for so long. The readers are really offended, they have to pay to read our work. I do not know how to put this cat back in the bag

@rpetty : There are 17 families who can imagine the loss and the pain. We do not want anyone to feel this pain or suffer as we still do. We will continue to do everything in our power to ensure that we are the last.
