Two tools
There has been a lot of talk about Republicans having a chance to reclaim some of their political clout in the 2010 elections due to thier unrelenting spin machine and Obama’s inability to cure all of the country’s problems in the span of less than two years. We are a quick fix society after all. Well one place I don’t think they will make any head way is in the Florida governor race.
The republican candidates in the primary are named Rick Scott and Bill McCollum.
The two of these guys have been in a bitter campaign battle where the amount of mud slinged back and forth has reached mountain-like proportions.
Rick Scott is the guy on the left. The first thing I feel when looking at the guy is dishonesty. He looks like he has many dark secrets hiding behind those little beady eyes.
One thing he wished was secret was the fact that he is basically a crook. He was in charge of a hospital association that was fined 1.7 billion, yes BILLION dollars for Medicare fraud. That’s a lot of fraud and he was the guy in charge when it all went down.
You may ask how would someone like this even consider running for governor? The answer is simple, money and lots of it. Scott has thrown incredible amounts of cash into this campaign in an effort to get his name and disturbing face in front of as many eyes as possible. His plan is simple, establish name recognition over anything else to grab all the dummies that go into a voting booth and decide their vote based on whose name they have heard and little else.
I think his plan is flawed because, well he has a disturbing face. It may not be so good for so many people to see it. He is very simply trying to buy the office, to hell with 1.7 BILLION in fines.
McCollum suffers from an image problem as well. He looks as interesting as curdled milk. He would make Mr Rogers look bad ass. He also is a career politician, something that is not looked upon very highly this day and age.
Anyway these two have done such a good job at discrediting the other I don’t think either has a chance to beat Alex Sink (a woman) in the real election.
