Rick Scott is a political cockroach.

He's never won an absolute majority (50%+) of votes.

He's never won by a margin of more than 1.2%.

He's the complete opposite of photogenic.

He's anything but charismatic.

He's horrifically corrupt with unbelievable baggage.

And somehow, some way, he manages to push on.

Although, with Amendment 4 passing, Florida races should trend more Dem-friendly moving forward (but, that's been said since 2008).

...on all of the amendments, while Republicans were just concerned about the Governor and Senate races.

I made sure to research all the amendments and the more obscure races (judges, conservation boards, etc.) and didn't leave a single question unanswered. I'm sure not everyone took as much care.

We gave you back your vote while they wanted to keep you in election prison.

win with a decent margin.

I'm sorry. I still think FL manipulates votes the way they have been doing forever.

He held back billing statements until after the election because users are gonna get it right up their Scottholes.

According to Noah Pransky of 10 News the company he contracted to audit SunPass was also a major contributor to his campaign AND he and the little missus have interests in that company.

Lipless bastard makes a killing off the rubes and the rubes bend over and send him kisses from between their knees.

Un-fooking-believable but true.
