GOP Gubernatorial nominee Rick Scott is vowing to unify the state Republican Party as well as lean on them to support all Republican candidates running in both Congressional and State races. The state GOP has long been accused of meddling in contested Republican primaries, as well as not supporting all Republican candidates. In the 2008 election cycle, I, as well as many other well connected people were told that RPOF resources would only be expended on ‘races that the party thought were winnable’. So what the party was telling us back in 2008 was that a candidate the caliber of Allen West was not a “viable candidate” and the it RPOF was the final judge as to would win or lose any race. Fast forward 2 years- and the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) is broke, but Scott’s vow to help all candidates is good news for all candidates statewide. Is it fair to assume that Rick Scott is now holding the purse strings at the RPOF?

I stopped sending ‘Dead Money’ to the RP long ago. I support directly to those who need money fast, Allen West would be a classic example.
Does this mean Rick Scott will help Kathy Bolan of Sarasota County get the re-count she and all the voters of Sarasota County are entitled to?

To hell with the GOP,
support the CONSERVATIVES.
Thank God for Rick Scott! This is a good man and the RPOF should be grateful to him after how they treated him!
Rick Scott is great! The RPOF has a leader again. He’s proving he’s a better man than those who won’t support him.
I will watch with great interest on what Rick Scott does with RPOF. The participation of RPOF in republican primaries is unacceptable. RPOF tried to buy the Governor’s race, they bought the District 31 race, putting 40K in the campaign of John Tobia, whose campaign was dead in the water without RPOF help, leaving the seat vulnerable for a democrat to win.
There needs to be true reform with 527′s, CCE’s, and campaign finance. I have hope that this can happen with Rick Scott at the helm!
Rick is the Democrats worst nightmare coming true! I can’t wait to see his redistricting plan!
Does this mean he is shelling out money to all the candidates?
