Rick Scott may be unpopular but you have to understand something about Florida. This is a conservative state, voters may not be happy with their current governor but they will hold their noses and re-elect him before they will ever consider voting for some dirty commie hippie Democrat. Much as it pains me to say it, expect Rick Scott for another term as Florida's governor.
