Scott Polls Best Against Sink, McCollum Trails Democrat

Editor’s Note – Rick Scott is polling better than McCollum against Democrat opponent Alex Sink, in fact, McCollum trails Sink in the poll results!

The one persistant argument from many is that Scott will not win the general election, yet, Rasmussen begs to differ.

Is this the death blow to McCollums’s campaign? Is there still time to turn these numbers around? The trend is not going in the right direction for McCollum at this point and time is running out.

Bill McCollum, Rick Scott Face Off In Debate

Editor’s Note – With time running out, and his campaign woefully short of funds, McCollum may have missed an opportunity to truly seperate himself from Rick Scott in yesterday’s debate.

With a least one more shot with an upcoming second debate, the window is closing quickly for McCollum. There was an agreed upon third debate, however, it’s still up in the air.

Down in the polls and time working against him, what can McCollum do to change the momentum in this race?

Recent News Favors Scott over McCollum

Editor’s Note – Things are not looking good for Bill McCollum at the moment. Already behind in the polls, and with this weeks court ruling, Scott is about to turn the money spigot back on.

Can McCollum pull this out? Time is running out and he has yet to capture the imagination of the voters of Florida. Adding to his troubles is a strong anti-incumbent feeling amongst voters.

Perhap’s, it’s time to start sizing up Rick Scott against Alex Sink, who’s seen a recent rise in the polls, largely due to all the mud slinging coming from the Republican side.

The Taxpayer Bailout of Bill McCollum

Editor’s Note – Didn’t know that you were funding Bill McCollum’s campaign? With over four weeks remaining, the amount of money to be received by McCollum is going to be substantial.

If you’re feeling a little heartburn over this, let it be a lesson that the public must pay attention to what our ‘representatives’ do in Tallahassee. We’ve heard the saying that elections have consequences, well, so too does apathy…

Judge Throws Out Scott’s Challenge, Scott Plans Immediate Appeal

Editor’s Note – Not sure if you catch it or not, however, by requiring the state of Florida to match Rick Scott’s spending, you have to ask one question – where is Florida getting the money from?

…some Florida taxpayers may be pleased to learn that they’re now supporting Bill McCollum’s campaign, others may not be!

Give’s one good reason to question a law such as this.

Scott Targets ‘Millionaire’s Amendment’ McCollum In Lawsuit

Editor’s Note – Things are quickly going from bad to worse in the Florida Governor’s race.

This no longer little war between Scott and McCollum is beginning to give every Republican in the state cause for shame. Particularly now that RPOF Chairman John Thrasher has decided to enter the fray.

Not sure if it’s sheer desperation on the part of the establishment, and, naturally, each side is pointing the finger at the other for ratcheting up the rhetoric, but this battle is creating a real civil war amongst Republicans at the worst possible time.

Editor’s Note – I think it may be time for the McCollum campaign to hit the panic button.  Even his supporters acknowledge that he is a ‘granola’ candidate, however, these numbers are probably a better representation on the anti-incumbent feeling that is sweeping across this nation.
