What state had the weirdest year and worst governor in 2014? I'm going for Florida!

Rick Scott doesn't need any introduction: worst governor ever!

TALLAHASSEE — Florida's year in news included a 90-year-old man arrested for feeding the homeless and a "Catholic Warrior" damaging a Satanic holiday display in the Capitol. But what else would you expect from a state where the two leading candidates for governor held up a live televised debate over a small electric fan?

A few example:

"It's the state where lottery officials promoted the fact that they gave a sexual predator $3 million — until they realized he was a sexual predator, at which point they quickly removed the photo of him holding a big check from their website.
-----------
It's the state where a blind woman sued the nudist community where she lives claiming she was harassed about the size of her service dog.
------------
Which is different than the tantrum picked up by a Tampa-area McDonald's security camera: a woman walking behind the counter wearing nothing but a thong overturning equipment, throwing food, and eating ice cream and French fries."
