Mitt Romney Headed to Florida to Help Rick Scott

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who made a spirited bid for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008 and is widely expected to do so again in 2012, will be heading to Florida to campaign with Republican gubernatorial candidate Rick Scott.

The former and perhaps future presidential candidate will be heading to The Villages to campaign with Scott on Oct. 1. Romney will be hitting 25 states to campaign for Republicans before the November elections -- one more sign that he has his eyes on the White House. Romney, who supported Attorney General Bill McCollum over Scott in the primary, has been an active backer of Republicans across Florida.
