It almost seems like an accidental endorsement, if there is such a thing: Florida Governor Rick Scott officially endorsed Bill Foster for Mayor.
“Absolutely. Mayor Foster has done a great job… He’s done a great job.”
Pressed further to say if he will campaign with Foster in the coming weeks, Scott said: “The mayor’s done a great job. I’m here all the time.”
It is praise that might feel a lot higher if the governor’s approval rating weren’t in the tank. It might feel more like and endorsement for Foster — who apparently had nothing to say about being endorsed by the Governor of the State of Florida — if Scott weren’t the most vulnerable Republican in the nation.
There’s nothing Mayor Foster can do about it now. He is indelibly tied to one of the least-liked governor’s in the nation. One wonders if his political fortunes will follow suit.
