I know Skinny Vinny (whenever he comes back from his post-election day self-exile) will intensely disagree with what I'll say, but Rick Scott is a crook. If Crist and his interesting political history (to say the least) can beat him, then I'm all for it.

I just find it strange that in a state with higher than national average unemployment rate, Republicans keep getting re-elected to the Governor's mansion. Last 16 years so far.

Of course it could be worse. Republicans haven't won the Washington governorship since 1980.
