I wonder if she'll help any.

Good pick.  It won't hurt him and will soften his appearance as antiALLimmigrants ALL the time.

Now on to discuss something more important: Scott's viability.  I have to be honest States-I'm having a hard time seeing Scott pulling off a victory over Sink.  I'm not being an alarmist or trying to annoy you (and no, I was definitely NOT a McCollum fan/bitter McCollum supporter).  Scott has let Sink control the airwaves for the past week and I don't think he's even going to buy ads for the next upcoming week.  Sink is getting good press and Chiles dropping out isn't going to help him either.  I suppose Scott is maybe waiting until October to blast Sink with 50-70 million in negative campaign ads but that may be too late if Sink has the month of September to define Scott.  Race is a tossup favoring Sink.

I'm still undecided.

Sigh. Why must Scott taint Carroll's bright political future with a likely loss this November?

lol actually my thought was 'I feel so bad because this nice woman is about to be dragged through the mud.'

He picked her because he believes a double threat will help him. Woman? Check. Minority? Check. It couldn't be anymore transparent.

Just to let you know StatesRights, I now will support Scott.

I am a HUGE Carroll fan.

I'm shocked. You're willing to support the man just because he chose Carroll? She isn't going to be governor if elected he will. The man has a worse business record than Fiorina. And it's pretty hard to be her tenure at HP in crappiness.

Well the way I see it, Sink has been in office for 3 years now and I can't name one thing she has done.

For once, I actually agree with a Lefty on Racial issues.  The fact that he touted her as "The First African-American on a statewide Republican ticket" in like the 3rd sentence in his introduction of her basically screams ethnic pandering.  And stupid ethnic pandering too--A Hispanic would have been a much better pick considering Florida blacks are even more Liberal than they are nationally.

Though running on the same ticket as Rubio does kind of cover that angle.

The point isn't to win black voters, it's to win moderate independents that will feel reassured that Scott picked a "moderate" minority.

The one who won't do nothing will be carroll. scott is only there because he has millions and millions. do you think he will work FOR the people (like crist) He only wants to be governor because, now that he has money, he wants power. and he only picked carroll because she is black and a woman. if carroll were a white man, do you think he would have picked her??

Actually, after looking her up some more, she seems to be a very good candidate in her own right.  I kind of wish this ticket was flipped to be honest.

I agree, it would be better if it wasn't Scott lol
but Carroll is a great candidate, and I was HOPING Crist was going to pick her for the interim Senate seat, but he didn't.

Hmmm, a Trinidadian immigrant who represents an 80% nhw, 72% Bush (2000) district. Entertaining. Goodlooking for her age, too.

Sorry, I have nothing worthwhile to contribute, I'm just musing aloud.
