86. Not the least bit surprising.

As bad a candidate as Sink was, i voted for her because i knew this was the type of crap we were going to get from Scott. I'm beginning to think the SCOTUS ruling on Medicaid may actually end up helping the poor in this state, because i think if faced with the choice of expanding coverage or scrapping Medicaid altogether, Scott would have probably chosen the latter, and as hard as it is to get Medicaid in Florida as it is, its better than nothing. Hopefully if the Dems take back congress in Nov. they can pass a law to deal with this issue, otherwise the poor will continue to be at the mercy of the Fl. GOP.
