Jacksonville's logistics muscle became part of the Democrats' counterattack today as Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink toured the port system, ignoring the health care debate to preach the need for job growth.

This came a day after the state GOP unveiled an advertising campaign calling Sink "one of them" for supporting health care reform and a Mason-Dixon poll showed she had fallen 15 percentage points behind Attorney General Bill McCollum in the Florida gubernatorial race.
