Rubio has lost his mojo, Scott says
by Michael C. Bender | July 23rd, 2010UPDATE: Scott, a Rubio supporter, says he believes Rubio has lost momentum because the Republican Party has not given him enough support. “If he was getting more support from the party right now then we would be seeing him out there more,” Scott said.
Republican gubernatorial candidate Rick Scott, fairly unprompted, weighed in this morning on the state’s U.S. Senate race, which polls show Republican Marco Rubio and independent Charlie Crist trading the lead.
“Marco’s lost his momentum,” Scott said.
The comment came in a conversation with Ralph Beck, a Dunedin voter who was waiting for Scott at a campaign event in Clearwater.
Beck made an offhand comment about voting for Crist in the ’06 governor’s race. Scott responded with talk about poll numbers showing Rubio “five or six points” behind Crist.

Rick Scott is a political neophyte, which is not always a bad thing. However, in this case it is. Floridians need to beware of this slickster fraud of a “businessman.”
As for Marco, I find it amusing to read Scott’s comments. “Lost his momentum?” I think not. Rick Scott wouldn’t know mojo if it jumped up and bit him in his puny behind.

Just like the Republic’s ….A bunch of loud mouthy Reds who’ll elect Al Capone he he fit their needs…
Just wait till Scott gets his hands on some real money…
Nothing like putting the FOX in charge of the Chicken Cope
I hope Scott leads the REDS straight to the gates of Hell
Where all Reds belong

Rubi-con. def: An insider hack from the most corrupt county in Florida named Marco Rubio.

Rubio’s problems were brought on by Rubio. The once spotless poster child of conservative values is seeing his skeletons fall out of the closet. Credit card gate, the attempt to sneek a strategic foreclosures in the Panhandle, his anti Constitution stand on infringing on states education systems by having a nationalized standard. The list goes on, so who is to blame, Rubio or someone making a statement based on an public knowledge?

And Craig, don’t forget Rubio’s wishy-washy stand on the Arizona Immigration bill, he was sure sitting on the fence on that one. !!

Today doesn’t matter, in the end both Rubio and Scott are going to win. Crist is an empty-suit chasing the camera’s and McCollum is McCollum, just blase.

Rick is correct. The RPOF HAS DONE NOTHING AS USUAL! Thats why we loose allot of races!

My view is that Scott is a master con artist and not qualified to be Governor. Of course, I also have serious doubts about McCollum & Sink.
I am a Conservative Republican and a native Floridian. Rubio will not get elected because he has lied, covered-up and evaded. What few plans he offers are stale and some are offensive. He leans on Jeb, as does Thrasher, and they are going to find that Republicans are not fond of any of them.
