Rick Scott didn’t attend an Aug. 11 debate with Republican primary rival Bill McCollum, but he ended up making a joint appearance of sorts with another gubernatorial candidate, no-partyite Michael E. Arth. Arth attended a Scott event and posed for a picture with the GOP candidate.

“Despite campaigning since June 2009, Arth was able to mingle unnoticed at the Scott event,” says an Arth press release that describes the encounter.
