It’s official. Last night voters in Florida kicked Bill McCollum and the GOP Jeb Bush establishment to the curb.
On the downside however, Republicans went with the other guy. The one who barely escaped Medicare fraud charges and threw $50 million of his own into his campaign, Rick Scott, as their nominee for Governor of the great state of Medicare.
But look out, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
Democrat Alex Sink easily won her party nomination early in the evening, and no grass is growing under her feet. Before Rick Scott had even made his victory speech, Sink was already out in front with a message to voters as she jumped into the general election.
In the U.S. Senate race, Kendrick Meek was also the early winner in his race against the “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire And Buy A Seat In The Senate?” candidate Jeff Greene.
Meek will be wasting no time either, as he’ll be facing not one but two candidates, Marco Rubio (R-Tea Bagger-FOX-GOPTV) and Charlie Crist (I-As Of 12:27 a.m. Wed.) in the general. Crist and Rubio got a head start knocking each other around before Crist jumped off the GOP Titanic and switched parties.
Rubio is rather fond of the three or four catch phrases he’s been throwing around since he got in the race, and not much has changed there. While he’s deviated just a little from the standard Tea Bagger talking points, he still has the same solution for every problem known to man, which is of course, tax cuts.
As for Charlie Crist? Well, he’s for whatever you want him to be on any given day. Really, just ask him.
It should be an interesting couple of months.
