		<description>Paula Dockery a better choice? She had a single handed vision to kill the Central Florida Commuter Rail (Sun Rail) and, in the process, hamstrung Tri-Rail which may cost us any kind of serviceable transit. Did she do this because she had vision? NO! She did this because her husband was the primary backer of the failed high speed rail authority. He recently resigned from the commission (http://www.theledger.com/article/20090406/NEWS/904065037?Title=Florida-High-Speed-Rail-Champion-Dockery-Resigns) but spent millions to get that self-serving amendment on the ballot.</description>

		<description>I have been hearing more and more about Paula Dockery - State Sen. District 15 (http://blogs.tampabay.com/buzz/2009/05/paula-dockery-for-governor.html).  With McCollum sinking in the polls against Sink (http://blogs.tampabay.com/buzz/2009/06/poll-crist-59-rubio-22-mccollum-41-sink-39.html), and people like Rothstein wanting something other than McCollum, people are wondering if Dockery might not be the better choice to go up against Sink.</description>

		<description>I think there&#039;s a fundamental crack in the process that results in candidates coming forward to run for office before people conclude what they need in a candidate.  I mean, imagine this process.  Imagine that candidates are not allowed to declare their intent to run until the public forms a consensus about what the problems are in a state, etc., and decides how generally they want those issues addressed.

Then the goal should be to find the right person to fit that job.   This is how we hire workers, managers, executives.  Why not politicians?  Why should we have to settle for who feels in a position to run?

To me, the entire process should change.  No wonder that all government, republican or democrat, disappoints more often than not.

For example, Florida is losing it&#039;s ability to grow but our economic plan has been that of a growth state.  Florida is losing tourist base yet our economic plan calls for tourist dollars.  Florida is experiencing social problems it never had before and doesn&#039;t seem to understand how to address them.  With the constant need for high paying jobs, in a state with great weather, schools, housing stock and no income tax, how come Florida has not become a major location for corporate headquarters nationally?

What does Alex Sink or Bill McCullom suggest that they are going to do to address that?  If the answer is good, I couldn&#039;t care less if they are Whig or Republican or Democrat.  If the answer isn&#039;t good, then I think we need to find the right person.</description>

		<description>Scott, 
Don&#039;t let the assholes get to you.  The world is full of them.
Criticism of you and your decisions is natural, considering you are successful during a recession and so many law firms are laying off lawyers. I would bet that those critics above are disgruntled lawyers from other firms (Holland? Greenberg? Ruden?)</description>

		<description>i find it truly amazing that so many people that profess to know it all...... that voice such intense viewpoints about important issues regarding our state and  our country...and often have the unmitigated audacity to attack others in the most  vile of manners----are actually so weak  that they hide in the shadows using the cloak of the web to shield their identities.....if you wish to engage others in this manner--at least have the backbone to identify yourself and take claim to your viewpoint and your words.

		<description>Scott, good choice. I am impressed and I echo your sentiments. From what I hear around town, you are not the only Republican with $$ that will be backing Alex Sink. She is poised to win.</description>

		<description>Mr. Rothstein is right.  Bill McCollum is a loser from the past who only became attorney general because Skip Campbell ran a horrible race. We don&#039;t need answers from the Reagan era.  We need a new voice with new ideas --

		<description>Scott Rothstein says above he backs Charlie Crist because &quot;I believe in his vision.&quot;


Vision??!!??  LOL!  What &quot;vision&quot;?  Charlie is the most unsubstantive politico I can recall.  He stands for nothing ..... except for what latest polling data tells him is popular.  Charlie cannot ever be accused of selling-out conservative values, because Crist has never believed in any ideological core values.  All fluff and a tan, no substance.</description>

		<description>The great man Scott Rothstein speaks above. Despite what he says, people like Rothstein only do what&#039;s best for them. They make a business decision to back Sink. That alone should scare us about what kind of deal was made.</description>
