I voted for McCollum, thinking he had the better shot at beating Sink in the general election. Scott's conservative message, combined with a personal charisma somewhat greater than McCollum's, gave him the victory. It didn't hurt that Scott spent a great deal of his own money in the primary, but if spending money was the secret to winning then Jeff Greene would have beaten rival Kendrick Meek for the chance to challenge Marco Rubio for one of Florida's two seats in the Senate.

I'm amused by an ad Google placed on my blog:
There must be some specialized definition of "proven business experience." One that allows mid-level banking executives (I'm counting CEO of Bank of American in Florida as the top of mid level) to claim "proven business experience" while also preserving plausible denial for all the things banks do that their customers and employees resent, such as layoffs in the wake of mergers, high transaction fees and cascading overdraft charges.
Meanwhile, Rick Scott's creation of Columbia Healthcare and his administrative role in Columbia/HCA are somehow discounted.
