Millionaires Club
July 29th, 2010 by flanewsYou can not get elected to a major office in this country without huge amounts of money.
It’s logistically possible, but practically impossible. Just look at multi-millionaires Rick Scott and Jeff Greene. Scott is running for Governor, Greene US Senate. January 1st, they were off the political map. Nearly 40 million dollars later, both are leading their primary elections by double digits. Quinnipiac released its latest poll numbers today showing the two, way ahead. Pollster Peter Brown says Scott is having success against his primary rival Bill McCollum, because he’s running as an outsider.
“Of the two Scott is clearly the outside. In fact the outsider wins more than Scott is winning, but that is an image and theme that’s very popular this year,” said Brown.
The poll also shows that voters think Scott is more conservative than McCollum.
“The truth is I have a record of being a Reagan conservative, and he has nothing but slick ads to show for that. The truth is everything I have done in my life has been based upon conservative principals,” said McCollum.
The poll shows Scott leading McCollum 43 – 32. McCollum says the poll is flawed.
