Sen. Rick Scott Is Uniquely Unpopular. Can Dems Capitalize? [View all]
Its no secret that Florida Democrats hate Sen. Rick Scott. Whats less known is that many Republicans feel the same way.
To his detractors, Scott is a big-money, anti-abortion villain trying to sunset Social Security and topple the old guard GOP. But as Democrats try to mount a Senate campaign against Scott this year, both Republicans and Democrats are about to find out whether candidate quality matters anymore in a state that was once considered the swingiest in the nation.
It very well might not.
During Scotts eight years as Florida governor and five years in the Senate, hes cultivated a reputation as a staunch conservative who has trouble making friends on Capitol Hillan advocate for the rich and an enemy of the poor. Basically, hes the perfect Republican boogeyman for Democrats to bash on the campaign trail.
