Florida Senate Race Is a Toss Up

Cook Political Report: “In one of the most anticipated announcements of the cycle, Republican Gov. Rick Scott confirmed today that he will challenge Democratic U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson in November. Scott’s decision puts the contest into the Toss Up column.”

“Very few candidates could wait until 211 days before an election to announce a statewide campaign. Scott is one of them. With 10 media markets and 27 congressional districts, any candidate with statewide aspirations needs two things to be competitive: name identification and money. Scott has both and thus could afford to wait as long as he has. The late announcement also allowed him to work through the last regular legislative session of his administration.”

First Read: “Make no mistake: 2018 is shaping up to be a rough year for the GOP, and Scott’s previous statewide wins (in 2010 and 2014) all came in good Republican years. But today’s news is a helpful shot in the arm for the GOP.”

1. Going down, down, down, down

2. What was its rating before this?

Was it leaning Democratic?

I can't believe that Scott would push it to the Rep side.

3. Floridians who want their air to be NONbreathable, their oceans to be NONswimmable

who want their employers to have all the rights while they have none, will want to vote Scott


Anyone who HATES Medicare and Medicaid and doesnt want it when they qualify, should also, given he holds the record stealing from them.

5. Make no mistake. Rick Scott is a thief and a liar.

He fits the standard (R) mold.
