Rick Scott wins ‘worst governor ever’ title from union

[The Backlash Cometh]

Gov. Rick Scott has won the “Worst Governor Ever” contest run for the past month by the Transport Workers Union of America, beating out Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker in an online contest.

“Scott ran a fierce “campaign” right out of the gate by rejecting funding for high-speed rail, a strategy he continued to employee as he refused millions for healthcare leaving thousands of Floridians uninsured. His unprecedented attacks on the middle class – from cutting jobs to creating cumbersome and unnecessary obstacles to voting – gave him the umpff to surpass other “worst governor” heavyweights such as Texas Governor and now Presidential candidate, Rick Perry, and Ohio’s Governor John Kasich,” the union said in a statement.

“We’re also pretty sure that Scott’s recent Tea Party bandwagon support of drilling in Florida’s prized Everglades scored him a few extra votes in the final stretch.

3. yep - he's the one that I voted for although

it really could have been any of a number of these a**holes to win.

The contest did not have past governors listed (that I saw). I would have been tempted to vote for Reagan.
