Is it super polarized in Florida already or is it just around Governor Rick Scott?
This week in a simple photo opp announcing Orlando’s new Major League Soccer expansion team, the ‘Jobs Governor’ got jobbed when he was relentlessly booed.
The jovial crowd got vicious when organizers announced Scott wanted to say a few words. Judging from the accompanying YouTube video, whatever polite ra-ra-ing the state’s chief executive had intended on spewing was not welcomed. The boos trounced his statement, and knowing he was beat Scott yanked himself from the spotlight.
Unfortunately for him, he didn’t get the dignity of just walking off stage. He had to stand there, in all his shame, grinning and bearing it in front of a hostile crowd who wanted blood. Even the worst of Open Mic-ers get to run off and drown their sorrows privately, perhaps even on the house by way of a sympathetic bartender.
Luckily the night was one of celebration in Central Florida, as they became a two-team city. Scott gratefully lost himself in the crowd.
Can Scott expect more of this has he mounts his right-wing re-election campaign? Are the polls that have Charlie Crist in double digit leads against Scott manifesting in public?
Or is it too early, and Orlando City Lions fans just democratic at the polls?
Either way: funny video.
