Florida Megathread

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Something enlightening I'm gathering from this thread is that Sanchez doesn't know the difference between "your" and "you're."

Spellcheck keeps changing it. And I keep ignoring it. You're wrong. Or Your wrong. Or fxthfsv wrong.

Rewatching the debate on CSPAN; the copy of the rules said no fan. Charlie broke the rule. Still, Scott messed up, spanking, etc.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

The debate organizers confirm that Crist broke the rules. Doesn't matter though, Scott really messed this up. It would have better if he just refused to debate entirely and waited for the confirmation that we now have today.

Reportedly Scott is self-funding $22M (!) for ads these next two weeks.

I'd imagine this race has long reached the saturation point in terms of ads. At least he's putting the money he earned through fraud back into the Florida economy on his way out.

I have a feeling that most campaign ads are produced out of Florida .

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Just got polled by The Tarrance Group (a Scott internal). Most of the questions focused on Bill Hager/David Silvers and if I will vote for Scott, with no mention of Crist.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I watched some of that debate.  Rick Scott embarrassed himself.  How did this clueless boob become governor of Florida?  

$75.1 million of his personal fortune.

Also, Alex Sink
Also, the Florida Democratic Party

She didn't do that bad... considering 2010 was a republican wave...



The Republican margin dwindled from 7% in 2006 to 1% despite 2010 being a republican surge.  Although the surge might of been what saved Rick Scott from a 3-4% defeat by Sink.

Yeah, Scott was only declared the winner like two days after the election.

Also, its worth noting that the FLDP is still a huge joke party and have to use a Republican to win office against a "boob" like Scott (who performed decently last night, but still was behind Crist).

Crist and Scott on the execution postponement

If gubernatorial debates were as widely watched as presidential debates, there's absolutely no way Rick Scott would still be in this race. What a brutal exchange.

Man, the criminal is really awkward during debates. I watched the last one, and I thought maybe it was just because he was unnerved from the fan debacle, but it seems to be par for the course.

Why is Scott constantly smiling while Crist is talking about executions? What a jerk.

Not a jerk, just absolutely clueless - rumor has it that he only learned after taking office that he actually had to physically sign death warrants.

Scott is a very nervous person. My therapist and I were talking as he closed his office down yesterday, and he noted that Scott appears to have a slight case of aspbergers in his view. I disagreed, but who am I to argue with a man with a masters degree?

Just passing by to say I early voted on Saturday in Broward. Brought my sis who is just turned 18 and my mom. Polling site was busy.  There's more Scott signs than Scott voters in south florida. Three more for Charlie

I live up here in Palm Beach County, and I have seen a ton of Scott signs as well, and God knows this is not exactly Scott country .

I just watched "Outrage." If the rumors about Crist are true as the documentary suggests, than he really is the most vile POS in American politics today. Several women mentioned as "past girlfriends" had a similar story to the story of a relative of mine who also once dated Charlie Crist circa 25 years ago.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

If Crist is the most vile POS in American politics today, I'd love to know what Scott, a literal criminal, is!

When he gets charged and jailed for fraud, I'll change my tune.

I'm sure this is not at all hyperbolic.

Don't be dramatic.

The worst? Of course not, I was being hyperbolic. But is Orangeman a total douche? You 'betcha he is.

Crist will win

I have heard that turnout was low today for the last day of early voting. I will know when I go to the polls on Tuesday and find the line.

I heard that the "Souls to the Polls" thing was a flop today too.

Typical Republican voter suppression.

I just think that the members of the House of Power decided to take this Sunday off.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Looks like the Orangeman has gotten SPANKED!

Four more years! Four more years! Four more years!

My favorite city council meeting troll/write-in candidate Piotr Blass (the REAL inventer of the internet and the father of a son was kidnapped by an international ring of bigots and pedophiles) received a grand total of 14 votes.

Please read his Twitter.

Rick Scott for President?

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Because he doesn't want to be President.

Crossposting: Smith says growing number of FLGOP insiders think Rubio will run for Governor in 2018.

Rubio doesn't exactly strike me as the Governor type.

Well, at least he's not a criminal, so by Florida standards he passes with flying colors.

Your obsession with Rick Scott is creepy.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Weird that Indian River was fairly close.

My uncle (who works as a trucker) gets a kick out of the Travis Hudson "bonafide conservative" signs he sees on a daily basis.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Florida gets the government they deserve.

All in all, I think we've got a pretty good government .

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Senator Orrin Hatch's chief counsel wants to run in FL-18 for some reason.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Orangeman is strongly considering running against Jolly.

YEEEEES Please!

oh my god yes please

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Some very tentative rumblings are suggesting that Jolly may run for Senate, with the Republican candidate replacing him being former St. Pete Mayor Rick Baker - someone with a proven ability to win black voters (albeit in a municipal race), and someone who'd be the frontrunner against anyone save Crist.

I heard those rumors today at work.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Jolly in. Announcement next week.

Just saw it on Politico's Twitter feed; his new wife is only 27 and is supposedly viewed by Peter Schorsch as a great campaign asset.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Jolly officially in.

WTF. Didn't he just become a congressman a few months ago? What an idiot.

Ugh, no, he became a Congressman like three years ago.
