Rick Scott Reacts to Herman Cain's Win in Florida's P5 Straw Poll

Florida Gov. Rick Scott weighed in on Saturday after businessman Herman Cain shocked the world by winning the Republican Party of Florida's (RPOF) Presidency 5 straw poll.

"The Presidency 5 straw poll finished a great week for the Republican Party of Florida, said Scott. Congratulations to Herman Cain for his victory. Today's results reinforce the crucial role Florida's primary will play in the selection of our nominee and show that no candidate can take Florida for granted. Clearly, communicating a strong conservative message directly to Florida and its grass-roots voters made a difference today. I believe that, as we saw in 2010, a challenging primary between our Republican candidates will serve our party, state and nation well in preparing to defeat President Obama in 2012."
