It seems Scott's background as a corporate CEO has not translated well into his being Governor. We Floridians can vote, unlike his underlings at HCA, and some (few) of us actually do vote.

The real issue here is whether the Florida Democratic Party can field and back a candidate able to beat Scott. Who will that person be? Charlie Crist? Alex Sink in a rematch? Also, will the Democrats do better at turning out the vote this time around? I understand that Scott's 2010 victory came largely because of poor Democratic voter turn out in Miami-Dade County. We cannot afford another mistake like that.

Also, will the Florida GOP back Scott -- or some challenger -- in a primary challenge?

Florida DUers (and others) -- what are your thoughts?

a piss poor public servant too. Both he & Scott seriously need to go.

in Pinellas, we've had pretty good participation. I can't understand why so many people complain, but sit home and don't vote. The FDP has been pretty ineffective at fielding candidates - and whether I like it or not - the likely best possible winner for the next election would be Crist. If he runs he will probably win. If the Democratic vote had not been split, Crist would have won a Senate seat instead of Rubio.

The state voted in favor of high-speed rail, and lots of folks on the I4 corridor are pretty pissed that Scott vetoed it. I think the Florida GOP will back Scott.

Scott spend 70 million of his own money on the election. We were swamped with ads of his mother says he was a nice boy and similar things for months. Sink was a no name for most people here. Very little exposure. Since her husband died, she probably won't run.
