TALLAHASSEE If the race for governor were a popularity contest, Adrian Wyllie would feel good about his odds.
Wyllie, 44, a former radio host and IT consultant from Palm Harbor, is taking the longest of long shots by running on the Libertarian Party ticket. But by virtue of a Florida's scorched-earth gubernatorial contest, he may just have a chance to swing the outcome.
The two major-party candidates current Gov. Rick Scott and former Gov. Charlie Crist are beating themselves silly with a barrage of negative commercials. Surveys have shown voters don't really care for either.
"People are so disgusted by the Republican-Democrat duopoly right now. People don't like either of these guys," Wyllie said.
Florida witnessed a historically close gubernatorial election in 2010 when Scott inched out a victory over Democrat Alex Sink by 1.2 percent of the vote. This year, the electorate remains divided and disgruntled.
"Anybody that can pull 1 or 2 percent in either direction can affect the outcome," said University of South Florida political scientist Susan MacManus.
Wyllie gregarious, confident and quick to crack jokes decided to skip the business and school photo ops to barnstorm through three dozen microbreweries last month.
Inspired by breweries standing up to legislative efforts to increase regulations last spring, Wyllie drew stout crowds and hearty applause with his pledge to "get government out of your wallet, out of your bedroom and out of your business."
But Florida politics isn't a beer-hall popularity contest. It's a mega-money-fueled, statistically modeled, head-butting, art-of-war affair between major political institutions and interests.
It is doctors and insurers vs. trial lawyers. It is Big Sugar vs. environmentalist million- and billionaires. It is a media orgy of attack ads burning through millions of dollars a week in Florida's 10 television markets.

U.S. Senate candidate David Patterson said what he likes about the Libertarian Party is that it holds that individuals should be able to live their lives the way they see fit.
Speaking to members of the Bowling Green Southern Kentucky Tea Party on Thursday, the Harrodsburg police officer said he is a Christian, and that informs how he lives his life.
I dont expect anyone to tell me how to live my life, and Im not going to tell anyone how to live theirs, Patterson said.
Patterson is a third-party candidate in a Senate race that has garnered national attention as Democratic candidate and Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes challenges Minority Senate Leader Mitch McConnell.
He said the the rise of a third party will encourage compromise in politics.
The two-party system is broken, Patterson said.
The whole thing doesnt work anymore, he said.
Patterson said he really started paying attention to political issues during the 2012 presidential election and getting both Republican and Democrat perspectives on issues.
As I became painfully aware that Ron Paul was getting pushed out of the election, I knew that I was not going to vote for Mitt Romney, he said.
Instead, he decided to vote for former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate.
