FLRnc was backing McCollum but to say they wanted Crist NOW is crazy. Getting rid of Greer put an end to that - Crist’s support was waining within the party; that is one large reason he went Independent.
I fully agree with FLRNC with the 08 elections McCain. That race was a blessing in disguise, it’s one of a multitude of reasons Crist/Greer was ousted. That was NOT worth having Obama in the WH though and lets face fact, McCain ran a lousy campaign.
I’m pretty damned concerned about Scott’s ability to win given what I’m looking at.
The RNC came out in huge numbers today for a mid-term; in some cases record numbers. In every single race I looked at, the R candidate brought in more votes than their Dem counterpart. Some 3:1 or more, all except for Scott.
Alex Sink Dem. 663,510 (76.91%)
Rick Scott Rep. 595,183 (46.41%)
She beats him easily in overall votes.
Total votes however, makes the race flips.
Rep. 1,282,490 total votes cast.
Dem. 862,757 total votes cast.
Scott will have to get all of McCollum’s votes, without them he will not have a winnable base to work from.
This is reality and what we’ll need to deal with for November.
Can Scott serve as Governor from a prison cell? I mean, I’m just curious. Because he IS a crook and deserves to be behind bars.
McCollum’s office probably has plenty of evidence to indict him but resisted because it would taint the primary election and look blatently political. Now that he can start cleaning out his desk in the AG’s office, maybe McCollum will turn his staff loose to bring the indictments. Or will “Conservatives” prevail on him not to indict their Savior and spoil the general election? Will McCollum fall on his sword for these lemmings?
The next couple of months are going to be very interesting in Florida as all this unfolds in front of the electorate. Scott may have bought himself a party nomination for $40,000,000,000, but I seriously doubt he can stand up to the fire that’s coming in the general election.
