Imagine you're Gov. Rick Scott. After spending $73 million of your own money to win office, you face protesters constantly, you have little privacy and you are America's most unpopular governor.

Maybe you'd think of calling it quits after one term?

No way.

There is zero chance he won't run for a second term, Gov. Scott said in an exclusive Political Connections interview airing Sunday on Bay News 9.

"Unless my wife tells me she's dumping me, I'm running for a second term," Scott said, chuckling and recounting how much he is enjoying the job.

"I love people,'' he said repeatedly. "Some people get energized around people and ideas, policies and stuff like that. I love that stuff."

.....

Now he's laughing in our faces.


The people of Florida may have different plan for you, Mr. Scott.

have not gotten what they voted for since before 2000...

Remember, Alex Sink went into the last gubernatorial election with a five percent lead over Scott. Alex Sink came out of that election with Scott "winning" over Sink by .... five percent.

2. Scott "won" with less than 50% of the vote. 48.9% to Sink's 47.7% (61,550 votes)

FL Division of Elections:

Scott / Carroll (REP)

2,619,335
48.9%

Sink / Smith (DEM)

47.7%
2,557,785

Nothing about elections in Florida has been the same since the theft of 2000.


One piece of good news from Palm Beach County this week--- activists are starting a push for instant runoff voting statewide.
