It's the final weekend before the primary election and the candidates running for governor have fanned out across the state to try and line up votes.
Governor Rick Scott spoke to business leaders in Panama City, promoting a $41 billion transportation funding plan and making contrasts to former Gov. Charlie Crist.
“He cut transportation funding while he was governor," Scott said. "He didn't focus on how do we build our economy. He raised taxes on our citizens, over $2 billion. He said that our students should pay more for tuition, 15 percent year after year after year. But because of the leadership in Tallahassee we have, we've changed all that.”
As Scott attacks Crist on transportation funding, Crist is attacking Scott for cutting education funding.
But Republican State Senate President Don Gaetz said money isn't the biggest issue. For him, the election is a clash of personalities and he's not fond of Crist.
“I would go to his office and try to engage him in a substantive way about education funding, about accountability, about education policy, and he never had anything substantive to add to the conversation. He didn't understand the policy. He couldn't go deep,” he said.
That's a message the Scott campaign is hoping will resonate in the heavily Republican Panhandle.
The question...will it translate into turnout?
Scott will have to do well here with his base if he's to perform well statewide in November.
