Would Charlie Crist's primary opponent, former State Senator Nan Rich have been able to defeat Governor Rick Scott in this past November's election?

My Heart tells me yes, but my gut tells me no.

What do you think?

I'm another no.

I think there are some Crist voters who wouldn't have gone for a relatively generic 72 year old Democrat.

Seriously though what would Scott attack Rich on? I think the only issue with her would be raising $$ but she'd basically be a blank slate against Scott whereas he and his ad team had a field day with Crist.

He'd find something, I'm sure. Worst case scenario, he could just make stuff up. Lying in political ads is small potatoes compared to Medicare fraud. And Rich wouldn't have the funds to effectively counter him.

Rich was too underfunded and it wasn't the right year. I doubt it.

Rick Scott would've won by double digits.

No, the result would have been 57-40-3.

Alex Sink might have won...might have.

It was an election in which initially favored Democratic candidates for Governor lost in Massachusetts, Maryland, Illinois, and Maine. That would have been enough to doom Rich.

Maybe if George Soros would have started bankrolling her campaign and giving her 10 million a month.

Nah, if Rich had been the nominee, I'm thinking Scott would have won 54-46, maybe 53% at least.
