Late Thursday the Florida Chamber of Commerce announced its endorsements in the gubernatorial and attorney general races -- backing Republican gubernatorial candidate Rick Scott and attorney general hopeful Pam Bondi over their Democratic rivals.

Representing businesses that hire almost 140,000 Floridians, the Chamber praised Scott and Bondi for their stances on reviving the state’s sluggish economic situation.

“Rick Scott’s 35 years' experience in creating jobs is the type of leadership that Florida’s economy needs,” said chamber chairman Steve Halverson, the CEO of the Haskell Company. “Rick understands the central role businesses are to the health of our state’s economy, and his jobs creation plan will help develop the business climate needed for high-wage, high-skill jobs.”

The Chamber endorsed McCollum in the primary and ran ads attacking Scott. Guess they realized it wasn't safe to let a Democrat near the Governor's office.

FYI, Pam Bondi is a great candidate and rising star and should win her race to be Florida's Attorney General.

Florida news.

PAM BONDI needs to win, she will keep the Obamacare suit going. That Demon-rat Dan Gelber will NOT.

All I will say about Rick Scott now is that I am impressed with his Lt. Gov pick. I’d like to see more of Jennifer Carroll.

Florida Governor is one of the key races I’ll be watching early on election night. It will go a long way toward determining the direction Florida will go as a state.
