Rick Scott takes place among Senate GOP freshmen amid Florida recount
Gov. Rick Scott stood among six senators-elect in the office of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., on Wednesday as Florida election officials conducted a recount of ballots in the still-undecided Senate race.
Its a lot better to have a big freshman class than not, McConnell said as he greeted the group, which included newcomers Mitt Romney, R-Utah, and Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn.
Scott did not answer a question from a reporter who asked if he believed there is fraud going on in the ballot recount process in Florida, where he holds a narrow lead over incumbent Sen. Bill Nelson, a Democrat.
Scott is ahead by about 12,000 votes. Nelson has not conceded the race and his lawyers are suing to allow more ballots to be counted and to extend the deadline beyond Thursday, when a machine tally is due.

I will laugh myself silly if he loses the recount.
