VIDEO: How many attorneys general filing suit against ObamaCare are running for governor?
by Michael C. Bender | March 22nd, 2010If you count Florida’s Bill McCollum (and we always do), three of the 12 Republican attorneys general who say they’re suing over the Democratic health care reform bill are also running for governor of their respective state next year (Michigan’s Mike Cox and South Carolina’s Henry McMaster are the others).
Of the remaining nine, five are seeking re-election in 2010 and four don’t have to run again for two more years.
McCollum, whose gubernatorial platform to lower health care costs is to limit lawsuits, said his lawsuit is not political. Perhaps he should remind his campaign, which has sent seven press releases about health care reform in the past seven days.
