Welcome to

The Modus Operandi for the loser of a Primary Election is to congratulate the victor, and offer an endorsement. Just one day after the vicious battle for the Republican nomination ended Bill McCollum congratulated Rick Scott, but he’s holding out on his endorsement. As Whitney Ray tells us, McCollum still has questions about Scott’s character.

Three of Rick Scott’s so-called “Insiders” were in the capitol Thursday, conducting the state’s business.

His former foe, Attorney General Bill McCollum defeated; his new opponent Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink, just launching her campaign.

“I intend to run a very aggressive campaign. I think it’s important for the people of Florida to be able to compare the two candidates,” said Sink.

Sink has launched a new TV ad and is planning to run as an outsider, even thought that’s the mantra that led Scott to the Republican Nomination.

The 50 million dollars in TV ads destroyed McCollum’s campaign. After holding out for a night McCollum called Scott to congratulate him, but is holding out his endorsement.

“I still have serious questions about issues with his character, his integrity, his honestly, things that go back to Columbia/HCA,” said McCollum.

The man Scott is running to replace had very little to say about the political newcomer, and offered him no advise on being the Republican nominee.

While Crist has few words for Scott, Sink has plenty, and you can bet they’ll come out once the gloves come off. Fundraising for the General Election is now underway. Sink, Scott and independent candidate Bud Chiles are all on the money trail. Today Scott is making news; agreeing to bury the hatchet and raise money for the Republican Party of Florida.
