Halperin was hot at the Hyatt — and so was the audience

Rick Scott — a man run amuck
Rick Scott is just running amuck with his wild-eyed attacks on Alex Sink.
The St. Pete Times captured his cynical, self-serving frenzy best in this piece: Rick Scott’s Cynical Smears — you’ve got to read it. 
Is it really possible that anyone is voting for this man, much less giving him their money?
