This is an electorate that is very anti-establishment and anti-incumbant. It favors the outsiders more than the pollsters or the media wish to admit.

McCullum is a career politician that flip-flopped on immigration and ran a very nasty campaign.

Put your feelings aside.
Anyone who votes for a Democrat, in November, is a Communist.

The republican talking head on our local florida news channel said he knew several republicans who were going to vote for Sink.

Bad move. McCollum would have won easily, this guy will have tough sledding.

And it hurts Rubio’s chances.

I’m bummed.

We shall see.......Media attacks failed. McCollum attacks on his past hospital business failed. I think the tide is so strong that Rick Scott wins in November

how is Scott a crook ?
So you are peddling the DNC talking points here ?

the RENO justice dept went after Col/HCA because they FINANCED the killing of HiLLARYcare back in 1993.

All the cases against Col/HCA were thrown out of court due to lack of evidence !

Please share your brilliant insight or ARE YOU A TROLL ?

Are you saying you vote for a guy simply based on how he/she is projected to do in the general election?

No wonder we end up electing so many RINOs.

Oh please Mccollum was the GOP insider poster child and the GOP insider crowd can not handle an non insider.

Your local radio host is peddling GOP insider CRAP to scare the serfs who are revolting.

Hello

There was no Medicare scandal.

The RENO justice dept went after all the HCA and Columbia because they KILLED HILLARYCARE !

No HCA exec was ever convicted and all charges were thrown out because they were determined to be POLITICAL.

Columbia settled with the JD because it held up a
merger !

SO stop falling for the DNC lies peddled by the local FL DNC media!

McCullom and Rubio both shot themselves in the foot with the people of Florida and both of them have flipped to the other side of the coin.

As far as McCullom is concerned, he is a professional politician and IMHO thought the people in Florida would buy into his extreme acrobatic moves on Immigration.

I'd rather have Scott than McCullom.

As far as the Medicare Fraud, I don't know how much Scott was actually involved in setting up the scam. He has paid his penalties and as far as I am concerned I'll take my chances on a known crook than a guy who has the Old Buddy System in the beltway covering up his mistakes, ala the current Crist deal with the wetlands!

The entire Medicare fraud crap is a pack of twisted facts.

HCA was attacked by the RENO Justice dept because they killed Hillarycare and the only way to seek revenge was to go after their Medicare payments .

HCA settled the dispute due to a huge pending merger.

Rick Scott faces new Medicare fraud accusations

The man leading the Governor’s race on the Republican side was deposed just days before he got into the Governor’s race in one case and accused of medicare fraud by a former doctor.

Now Rick Scott is refusing to answer questions about the case against his current company.

You may remember Rick Scott was forced out of Columbia HCA after a massive medicare fraud case, now his current company Solantic is under fire. Just 6 days before he got into the race. Scott was deposed, and settled privately a fraud case where his company was accused of misleading regulators about who was in charge of a clinic. At a Tallahassee news conference, Scott got a subpoena from a McCollum supporter.

“It’s a private matter and I will not release the deposition,” said Scott.

Scott went on to call the ploy desperate and “Chicago style politics” but refused multiple times to release his testimony in the case. He’s also been accused by a former doctor at Solantic of Medicare fraud and that case is now in the hands of the FDLE. No charges have been brought. Wednesday was supposed to be the final debate, and the only one to be broadcast statewide. Scott decided to skip that final debate. Bill McCollum will be here in Orlando today for the forum anyway.

He is like teflon, the accusations fell off of him, mostly because it was media BS and some people actually believe the crap and they can't recognize a hit job by the Clintons and they should know better.
