Arizona primary election results

Category U.S. | Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

Rick Scott winning the Republican gubernatorial nomination in Florida, an upset of sorts against an establishment candidate endorsed by arty leaders, including Jeb Bush. The very wealthy Scott spent something like $50m in the primary and can easily do so again in the general election. Alex Sink is the Democratic nominee and she will need hefty outside support to have a chance.

Scott’s troubled career as head of a health insurer may not endear him to Florida voters, and Republicans may not rally around him, as they have the tougher senate race involving Marco Rubio versus Charlie Crist to concentrate energy on.

So is this another instance of Republicans passing up an easy win thanks to a weak candidate? Maybe. But unlike some other candidates, at least Scott can pay his own way.
