Bush took seven years to get to this stage. Scott made it so soon.

Are Floridians getting a conscience? Oh well, next time, THINK!

People (Floridians, Democrats, Republicans) vote for party, not the candidate. They will end up with people like Scott.

What Republican in his right mind, and there might be some, would ever want to associate themselves with a Rick Scott or Allen West? Jeb Bush looks like M. Ghandi compared to them.

No surprise. Both George H. W. Bush and George Bush are avoiding the Republican National Convention like the plague.

Isn't it really nice when the "leaders" of the party are so toxic that they're asked to stay home ?

He is the leader of the Republican Party. If people in Florida vote Republican they will get the same results with a different name than Rick Scott.

Zombie gov doesn't want to stampede the children or scare the cattle.

I think that perhaps many in the State wish he was out of country indefinitely as he governs, how?

You would be exactly right! I've been a Floridian for 55 years and I'm stunned we elected this guy.

The best thing for Florida is get rid of this do nothing but harrass his citizens and in my humble opinion, spend their money. Thanks.

He won by a VERY narrow margin. No big support for this should-be criminal.

Alex Sink, the Dem candidate, the former state controller was really weak. She also was a fomer Bank of America exec who was highly bonused because of all the jobs she cut. Crappy candidates. Crappy outcome.
