In the wake of Tuesday's primaries for governor among Republicans and Democrats, it's now officially a November showdown for GOP Gov. Rick Scott and former Gov. Charlie Crist, the Republican turned independent turned Democrat.

DAYTONA BEACH -- The percentage margin off victory by Gov. Rick Scott against two GOP challengers in Tuesday's primary was greater than that of former Gov. Charlie win over Nan Rich in the Democratic primary.

That could mean one of three things:

1. Scott is going to win in November;

2. Crist had a tougher opponent and therefore it could be anyone's race in November;

3. It means absolutely nothing.

Here are the results in each of the respective primaries:

• Scott won the GOP primary with 88 percent or 834,401 votes with Elizabeth Cuevas-Neunder coming in with 11 percent or 100,715 votes and Yinka Adeshina last with 2 percent o 16,903 votes.

• Crist won the Democratic primary with 74 percent or 622,982 votes over Nan Rich with 26 percent or 214,714 votes.

Rich's vote total was far greater than more than Cuevas-Neunder and Adeshina combined plus close to another 100,000 on top of that. Then again, Scott got more than 211,00-plus votes more than Crist.

However, each camp want to look at it, this likely is the highest profile race nationwide in a non-presidential election and should bring partisan voters out to the polls in November.
