During the campaign Gov. Rick Scott's aghast opponents made a mountain of the "record $77 billion budget" he signed this year. What they didn't mention was how much he and the Legislature saved Florida taxpayers.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz is all over television, peddling the darndest notion. She insists voters really do agree with Democrats on the issues, they just don't come out for midterms. And that's why Team Blue lost.

I hope she didn't tell that to Mary Landrieu. After 18 years in the United States Senate, Democrat Landrieugot crushed like a chili pepper in last Saturday's Louisiana runoff election -- for no other reason than she couldn't wash her hands of President Obama's policies fast enough.

Could there be a bigger political pariah in corporate Florida than Duke Energy?

What does Leslie Dougher have to do to keep her job? Somebody please tell me, I really want to know.

Watching Florida's partisan redistricting tug of war, no wonder it's so hard to get young people interested in their government. All they see is politics -- and they don't find much there to like or admire.
