More shocking news!

Scott is losing by 8% to a guy who didn't even get around to hiring a campaign manager until yesterday.

Crist will win because Dems will turn out for the MMJ ballot initiative.

Plus Scott has been abysmal for the state and voters know it. His disapproval, which actually matters, is lower than Obama's, which doesn't.

This is PPP folks.

In September, Charlie Crist was ahead of Governor Scott by 12 (!) according to PPP.

It's also worth noting that Obama's approval in the Sunshine State is just 44% according to the poll and Obamacare's approval in the state is only 40%, with 62% saying its implementation has been unsuccessful.

It night have something to do with Rick turning into Santa Claus and it now seems to be Merry Christmas to anyone who might vote for him. He has gone from a budget slashing hawk to "Want some $$? Here's some for you and remember me at election time".

The days of "going to run the government like a business and keep a lid on spending" are long gone. Like most politicians, he figured out that his horrible approval numbers were not the way to get re-elected. So let the money spigot be opened wide!

Well, Scott is a day late and a dollar short with his reversals on policy.
