Yesterday*, I tuned into the local radio talk show hosted by Bud Hedinger and he was talking about Bill McCollum endorsing Rick Scott. It blew my mind, because he was saying everything I wanted to say about it all. So without further ado, here is Bud Hedinger saying everything I wanted to say about McCollum endorsing Scott:
So, everyone and their brother on the right side of the blogosphere back Rick Scott… Except me. I also backed Jason Sager (The Conservative) over Richard Nugent (The Big Government Republican), in Florida’s Fifth US District. However I have no regrets. None whatsoever.
Updating the two primary races that I have been following closely. The Governor Race and the primary for Florida’s Fifth Congressional District.
I just got through talking to the McCollum campaign and they just sent me a short, sweet answer on the Sugar Land Deal, the so-called “Big Sugar Bailout” and “Crist’s Bailout”, by the South Florida Water Management District. Basicly, they want to buy 28,000-acre for $197 Million from US Sugar. There has been questions as to where McCollum stands on the issue. Well, Bill McCollum | Read More »
Now that the dust has settled over Rick Scott press-conference meltdown, let’s get some facts out about McCollum, Scott, and Solantic.
The other day, Newsmax (the real political news outlet of record) endorsed Bill McCollum (CAN-R-FL-GOV) for Florida Governor. Newsmax is based in Florida, so their voice counts in this race. This is what they have to say about Bill McCollum:
Early voting starts today in Florida. It will end August 21st. You can vote inbetween 9AM to 5PM, wherever early voting is taking place. You should vote as soon as possible and skip the lines come August 24th. Who am I voting for or endorsing? Well, here is my list:
I would like to start this out with a story. This will give you a little reason as to why I am supporting Bill McCollum (however this is not the only reason). When Rick Scott first brust onto the scene, I emailed his campaign asking if there was any way I can interview Rick Scott if he comes by my area. I wanted to get | Read More »
This is what I have been saying Bill McCollum should do, go after Rick Scott’s involvement with Columbia/HCA:
Never before in it’s nearly 100-year history has the Florida Chamber Of Commerce make a gubernatorial endorsement. Today, that ended: McCollum Endorsed By Florida Chamber Of Commerce The mouthpiece for 140,000 of Florida’s businesses has voted and wants Bill McCollum to be the Republican nominee for governor. The Florida Chamber of Commerce endorsed McCollum at the Port of Tampa Wednesday. It is the organization’s first | Read More »
FactCheck.org again sets Rick Scott’s lying PAC straight: Let’s Get to Work, a political committee largely financed by Florida gubernatorial candidate Rick Scott’s wife, is at it again – falsely claiming that Attorney General Bill McCollum used a “chartered airplane” to commute to work and charged taxpayers $280,000. McCollum has access to a state plane, but it’s not true that he uses it to commute. | Read More »
Today is the last day to register to vote or change party affiliation for those who wish to cast a ballot in the August 24, 2010, primary election. Even as you read this and you are going to register as a Democrat, that’s fine. Voting is one of the most important things you can do as a citizen.
Imaigne my surprised at being invited to Bill McCollum’s Blogger Conference Call. I am honored to be recognize by their campaign. Now granted I am already a supporter, but I did go into the call with a critical eye.
(H/T Newsmax.com) In the Tampa Tribune, Steve Forbes, two time Republican Presidential Candidate and self-described “Capitalist Tool“, endorsed Bill McCollum:
Of late, Rick Scott (CAN-R-FL-GOV) has put out some factless ads against Bill McCollum (CAN-R-FL-GOV).
The Florida Governor’s race, which I have been on the fence until now, was lit on fire by the entrance of Rick Scott. Until then, Bill McCollum was a shoe-in for the Republican nomination and the general win. The Shark Tank (a blog that focuses on Florida Politics) got an exclusive interview with Bill McCollum (video after the jump):
The biggest races to capture the national imagination from Florida, is the the governor race between Rick Scott and Bill McCollum (in which I am still undecided), the Senate Race featuring Marco Rubio, and the FL-08 race to out Alan Grayson. While they are all indeed important, the most under-reported race happening in Florida is the FL-05 primary race between Jason Sager and Richard Nugent.
