Rick Scott stunned Florida AG Bill McCollum to win the Republican nomination for governor in the race to replace Charlie Crist, who chose poorly in deciding to run for the Senate rather than a second term.

4. There's more...

she's known for bringing some mighty big pork to Fleming Island, a wealthy PUD in Clay County. She's also in hip-deep with Jeb Bush and his gang.

3. Like it or not this was a smart move by Scott

picking a Navy vet, African-American, a woman, a business-woman.

Indirectly it will help Kendrick Meek by bringing out more African-
Americans to the polling place.

FL African Americans are that dumb to vote for her just because she's black? I highly doubt it. She's known for running around in Jeb's crowd in this area and that won't sit well with anyone but his gangsters' followers.

8. Obviously that is what they think

Their strategy is obvious in this pick.
