I get my tv online thru a FL station. The Scott/McCollum ads were as low on both sides as any I’ve heard. That said, McCollum DID make the traditional courtesy call, then issued his broadside.
I don’t know the details of the Scott affair, so can’t judge. BUT I would remind folks that it’s taken years for Tom DeLay to be cleared, all the while scandal hanging over his head and ending his Congressional career, because of over-eager prosecutors.
I kept looking for a concession but it only came in a statement from one of his campaign spokesmen. I am not aware of a courtesy call being made.
