Rick Scott and Alex Sink began the last Sunday of their Florida gubernatorial campaigns courting votes in Baptist churches on opposites sides of the state.

Sink, a Democrat, attended Bethel Baptist and Shiloh Metropolitan Baptist Church in the Jacksonville in the morning, then joined U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson and Rep. Corrine Brown for a rally at the Gateway Mall in the afternoon.

Scott, a 57-year-old Republican who attended a tea party rally in Clay County on Saturday afternoon, began his day at a Baptist church in Largo, then walked around St. Petersburg's waterfront downtown, shaking hands, eating ice cream and posing for photos with pink-clad participants of a breast cancer walk.

Scott then worked his way down the southwest coast, making stops in Sarasota, North Port and Port Charlotte.

In Punta Gorda, Scott stopped at a neighborhood Halloween street party. He handed out candy to dozens of witches, vampires and princesses and posed for photos with some parents.

"I'm the jobs guy," Scott told the adults, referring to his plan to create 700,000 jobs in Florida.

Sink, a 62-year-old former bank president and current Florida chief financial officer, has tried to focus on the black vote in recent days while addressing large crowds.

Sink attended a barbecue and rally at Brown's headquarters. As about 150 people milled around and sat at tables eating, a TV was tuned to the Jaguars game. Before Sink spoke, she jumped into a line dance some women were doing to the Akon song "Dangerous."

Sink urged voters to get to the polls, saying "it's a neck-and-neck race."

Paulette Mitchell, a social worker who lives in Jacksonville, said she hoped voters would elect Florida's first female governor.

"I've researched her background, and I like the knowledge she has as CEO will make her a good governor," Mitchell said.

Later in the day in Delray Beach, Sink's running mate Rod Smith joined her and Sen. Bill Nelson at a rally at a private ranch owned by a Democratic supporter. About 300 people, seated on rows of hay bales, waved little American flags and cheered Sink, Smith and Nelson as they took the stage.
