Bill McCollum refuses to endorse Rick Scott

[ccharles000]

Bill McCollum called Rick Scott Wednesday to congratulate him on his victory in the GOP primary -- but he refused to endorse him in the race.

"I still have serious questions ... about issues with his character, his integrity, his honestly, things that go back to Columbia/HCA and I have not had the occasion to really actually even get acquainted with him," McCollum said after the Cabinet meeting. "As other voters will do I will judge him throughout this campaign."

So much for GOP unity ...

McCollum said he also spoke to Democrat Alex Sink and independent candidate Bud Chiles. He declined to go into detail about any of the conversations.

3. MCollum cant run and indy campaign I don't think

There is a sore loser law in Florida. If you are on a primary ballot and lose you can't run in the General election either as an indy or on another ticket.

5. Wait until he appoints the insurance rate commission.

6. I'm real comfortable with the idea of the Florida GOP

tearing at each other's throats going into the general.
