Palm Beach Post Staff Writer

Florida Gov. Rick Scott will speak at the Republican National Convention in Tampa this month, the GOP announced Monday.

As the Republican governor of a crucial swing state that’s hosting the convention, Scott’s inclusion is to be expected. But Scott’s consistent underwater approval ratings and the fact that he hasn’t appeared at any events with presumptive nominee Mitt Romney have raised questions about how prominent a role he’ll play when the GOP showcases itself to a national audience.

The GOP announced a first wave of speakers Monday that besides Scott included 2008 presidential nominee John McCain, former Secretary of State and potential Romney running mate Condoleezza Rice and former Arkansas Gov. 2008 presidential candidate Mike Huckabee.

Govs. Nikki Haley of South Carolina, Susana Martinez of New Mexico and John Kasich of Ohio are also on the early list of speakers.

More speakers, including the keynoter, will be announced in coming weeks, convention organizers said. The convention roles of Florida’s two most popular Republicans, Sen. Marco Rubio and former Gov. Jeb Bush, have not been made public.

1. GOOD

Now, if our current Florida Democraic party had a job other than to try and assist their rivals, if we had someone other than Debbie Wasserman " but the GOP are my friends" Schulz, there would be one line that could win Florida:

A vote for Mitt Romney is a vote for Rick Scott!

If this is done, either Mitt would run from Rick, or get stuck to him, and that opens the doors for ten thousand ads.

6. Great Pic....!

Fits pRick Scott perfectly.

We can expect ALL the Koch Bros foot soldiers to make a cameo appearance..... with a special Convention extravaganza sponsored by ALEC.

Thousands of Police and Military troops will line the streets of Tampa.. to make sure that the Family-Value Evangelical Republican Delegates can travel un-impaired to the local strip Clubs and Lap Dance joints.

7. It's hard not to hope that something goes wrong

Some giant screw up that reflects on the Guvner and makes them all crabby, or at a minimum a strip club scandal!

"Buy a Chick-Fil-A Value Meal ....and get a free lap dance in Tampa"
