Florida Megathread

Fangate is a stupid reason not to vote for Scott.

He embarrassed himself to the utmost degree, and politicians of his stature (Governors, Senators, Presidents) shouldn't embarrass themselves in public like that. Especially since it was clearly all intentional from his side. This incident was actually more embarrassing than Rick Perry's Ooops moment, and everyone agrees that that comment disqualified Perry from becoming president in 2012 and probably for the rest of his lifetime as well. Likewise, many people will say (certainly most Democrats) that Romney's condescending 47% comment disqualified him from ever becoming president.

Governor Crist and Hillary Clinton are together gonna transform Florida into a Democratic-leaning or even strongly Democratic-leaning state.

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.
