Subscribe to RSSFLORIDA: Rick Scott’s approval has tanked. A Quinnipiac poll finds him with just a 29%-57% job approval, “the worst score of any governor in the states surveyed by Quinnipiac,” the polling firm writes in a release.
KENTUCKY: “At least twice in recent years, Gov. Steve Beshear's office called the Kentucky Retirement Systems to suggest meetings with two of the governor's Democratic political supporters who were working on behalf of private investment companies,” the Lexington Herald-Leader reports.
MASSACHUSETTS: The Boston Globe’s headline: “Warren does not rule out a run.” The paper caught up with her briefly on Capitol Hill yesterday: “In a brief interview yesterday, as she was rushing down a hallway after testifying on Capitol Hill, Warren offered the standard non-denial of interest in a Senate run: ‘I’m working on the consumer protection agency, that’s 14 hours a day, that’s what I’m working on,’ she said.”

In Florida. You elect an ex con and you get what you paid for.
The problem is that North Florida more resembles the bible belt. Us in South Florida are more like New York. We didn't want him, he's a disgrace.
We here in FL need legislation that will not allow crooks like Scott to run for any position. He has just decimated our state. His unfunded mandate requiring schools to go to e-textbooks in 4 years is going to crush a lot of school districts. I can't figure out why he hates the majority of Floridians and is so intent on destroying us.
There is now legislation to recall Florida’s governor, as well as, state officials was filed on Wednesday by a Democratic House lawmaker.

Are there any of the newly elected Republican governors whose poll numbers AREN'T under water? Once again, off-year elections MATTER! I've never understood an "enthusiasm gap". When you're not paying attention, this is what you get!
Only 3 out of 10 Mainers approve of the job Teapublican governor Paul Lepage is doing.
It isn't just the "gaffes"and scandals plaguinghim in the first five months since his inauguration (too embarrassing to enumerate here) that have impacted his popularity.
It's the polices his administration has pursued. Basically, it appears the guiding principle of the Tea Party Republicans is: for-profit companies are our God.
Every policy is based on this policy, including the healthcare "reform" bill just passed that allows insurance companies to charge higher rates for the elderly and rural residents. (Ironically, two groups that supposedly form the Republicans' base.) Clearly the true "base" of the Republican Party are the corporations eager to charge customers more, pay employees less, and pollute the environment to their heart's content.
Let's hope that many red states have learned that electing a Republican governor gets them nothing, unless you're rich.
