Here are some quick takes:<\/p>\n<p>A major theme associated with the state\u2019s gubernatorial race is \u201cfreedom.\u201d But how candidates define \u201cfreedom\u201d seems to vary widely, experts said.<\/p>\n<p>Another observation: DeSantis, with buckets of campaign cash and a predicted victory in the fall, wisely is taking \u201cthe high road\u201d now.
