Jeb Bush to join Bill McCollum on campaign trail

[ccharles000]

Down (in the polls) and out(spent), Bill McCollum is rolling out the big guns in his push to win the GOP primary for governor.

Former Gov. Jeb Bush will join the attorney general for a statewide fly-around Monday, the first day of early voting. Bush endorsed McCollum early in the contest and appeared in the campaign's first television ad -- back when the campaign took a positive tone.

But Bush's endorsement is largely lost in the madness now, as Rick Scott pours millions into the race for his own advertising and siphons support from the Republican base. Can Bush's glow help revive McCollum's faltering campaign and deliver Republican voters who still consider him the second coming? Or if McCollum can't make a comeback, will Bush's kingmaker status get tarnished?

1. Sounds like even Jeb Bush and the Neocons can't deal with Rick Scott....

Rick Scott has out-crazied the right wing crazies. (Yes.. it is possible)


Rick Scott: "I will drug test welfare recipients". (Republican dog-whistle for "lazy black people"... throwing red-meat to Republicans... chumming the waters)


Rick Scott: "I will bring Arizona Immigration Law to Florida" (except for the Mexican gardners who care for my mansion)


Rick Scott: "I was only investigated in medicare fraud.. I was never indicted" (Scott has spent $25 million of his stolen Medicare money on his campaign so far)

Rick Scott: "I will cut taxes, create jobs, close Florida's border, yada, yada, yada" No politician has ever said this before! 2 chickens in every pot.

3. And if you vote for me....

I will give you my special ointment to make your IQ double over night.

Right!

2. How McCollum has made it in Florida politics for this long is a mystery

McCollum has zero charisma

I've been missing for four years -- why the Hell didn't they run Tom Gallagher? He's cut from the same cloth as Crist.

4. Didn't McCollum beat Gallagher 4 years ago?

I can't stand McCollum.

"Let's get real, Rick Scott"

I can't stand Scott either. But his new ad about eggs is pretty funny.

5. Well that ought to push his numbers down even further.
