Rick Scott Surges in Latest Poll- Up 13 on Bill McCollum
The question as to whether Rick Scott’s candidacy will sustain the test of a full primary season remains in question. Thus far, he has been the beneficiary of a lackluster McCollum campaign that has not generated substantial enthusiasm or put forth an agenda that would attract a wider base of dedicated core supporters. Voters still know little about Scott beyond his recent radio and television ad blitz. If Scott can effectively quell people’s questions regarding his tenure @ HCA- no doubt his biggest political liability- he has a fantastic shot, as McCollum is presently waging a campaign with ineffective negative ads directed at Scott. McCollum has a tough road ahead, as his establishment pedigree is much more of a liability these days in light of former RPOF Chair Jim Greer’s recent arrest; not to mention that there is a huge anti-incumbent sentiment that is primed to make a big impact this election cycle.
