Rick Scott Runs New Commercial Attacking Alex Sink for Backing Obama

Republican gubernatorial candidate Rick Scott has been linking state CFO Alex Sink, the Democratic nominee in the race, to President Barack Obama, saying that she has backed the White House on economic policies and supported new health-care laws. The Scott campaign released a new commercial on Tuesday continuing that line of attack, showing Sink praising Obama.

Obama liberal Alex Sink supports an agenda of higher taxes, a failed trillion-dollar stimulus, and a government health-care takeover that cuts $500 billion from Medicare, said Chad Colby, a spokesman for Scott. Her liberal positions serve to remind voters what is at stake in this election. Florida needs an outsider with an honest plan to turn the state around and create 700,000 private-sector jobs, not an Obama liberal with the wrong solutions that have resulted in higher unemployment.
