Quote-- Final figures show Florida Gov. Rick Scott spent $85 million, well more than three times the previous record of $24 million set by former Gov. Charlie Crist, in last year’s race for governor. That included $73 million of his family’s money, and dwarved the $17.5 million spent by Democrat Alex Sink.

In a very strong GOP year, with three times the money ever spent, and almost five times the money his opponent spent, he still got less than 49% of the vote.  Wow.

Watch the mayor's race, Peyton won with his own money. It will be interesting to see how much it takes to get elected this time around.
And, that $115 will save Jacksonville from financial ruin. - Mayor John Peyton
