Scott Brings Up Even More Questions for Floridians with Carroll's LG Rollout As news reports showed, Scott's insider selection of Jennifer Carroll as his running mate in his race to defraud Floridians and take our state in the wrong direction hit more potholes than his botched bus tour or knee-jerk Solantic press conference. After reportedly failing to convince Republican after Republican including first choice Paula Dockery to be his running mate, Scott finally found someone willing to serve as an accomplice in his campaign to help himself, instead of the people of Florida. But as the coverage showed, from her lack of results in the legislature, to questions about 'blemishes in her own record,' to video of her bashing Rick Scott, Carroll was anything but a smart choice for the disgraced executive. "Amazingly, Rick Scott was able to top his train wrecks in his primary campaign with his announcement of his running mate - which according to independent sources left 'many questions unanswered,'" said Eric Jotkoff, spokesperson for the Campaign for Accountability 2010. "From reports of about half a dozen candidates who rejected being considered as Scott's running mate, to video of Scott's pick questioning his leadership and motives less than a month ago, to Carroll having difficulty pointing to a single accomplishment in her lengthy career in the Legislature, when it comes to Rick Scott's LG choice, he may as well plead the fifth." As if the Carroll's difficulty pointing out accomplishments in her own record weren't enough, her statements regarding Scott are even worse. Unfortunately for Scott, his choice for Lieutenant Governor was not only a vocal supporter and chair of a supporter group for Bill McCollum, who still refuses to endorse Scott because of questions about Scott's "character." Carroll even criticized Scott when campaigning for McCollum, saying, "We do not need that seat to be a seat where you're learning, to be a seat where it's for personal gain, to be a seat where the residents and the citizens of the state of Florida will be negatively impacted because of a lack of vision." Just Weeks Before Selecting Her To Be His Ticketmate, Jennifer Carroll Implied That Rick Scott Would Use The Governor's Office "For Personal Gain." Addressing Clay County Republicans in August, Jennifer Carroll spoke out against Rick Scott: "We do not need that seat to be a seat where you're learning, to be a seat where it's for personal gain, to be a seat where the residents and the citizens of the state of Florida will be negatively impacted because of the lack of vision."

Questions for Floridians with Carroll's LG Rollout As news reports showed,
Scott's insider selection of Jennifer Carroll as his running mate in his
race to defraud Floridians and take our state in the wrong direction hit
more potholes than his botched bus tour or knee-jerk Solantic press
conference. After reportedly failing to convince Republican after
Republican including first choice Paula Dockery to be his running mate,
Scott finally found someone willing to serve as an accomplice in his
campaign to help himself, instead of the people of Florida. But as the
coverage showed, from her lack of results in the legislature, to questions
about 'blemishes in her own record,' to video of her bashing Rick Scott,
Carroll was anything but a smart choice for the disgraced executive.
"Amazingly, Rick Scott was able to top his train wrecks in his primary
campaign with his announcement of his running mate - which according to
independent sources left 'many questions unanswered,'" said Eric Jotkoff,
spokesperson for the Campaign for Accountability 2010. "From reports
of about half a dozen candidates who rejected being considered as Scott's
running mate, to video of Scott's pick questioning his leadership and
motives less than a month ago, to Carroll having difficulty pointing to a
single accomplishment in her lengthy career in the Legislature, when it
comes to Rick Scott's LG choice, he may as well plead the fifth." As if the
Carroll's difficulty pointing out accomplishments in her own record weren't
enough, her statements regarding Scott are even worse. Unfortunately
for Scott, his choice for Lieutenant Governor was not only a vocal supporter
and chair of a supporter group for Bill McCollum, who still refuses to
endorse Scott because of questions about Scott's "character." Carroll
even criticized Scott when campaigning for McCollum, saying, "We do not need
that seat to be a seat where you're learning, to be a seat where it's for
personal gain, to be a seat where the residents and the citizens of the
state of Florida will be negatively impacted because of a lack of vision."

A String Of Republican Lawmakers Publicly Announced They Were Not
