When Republican Bill McCollum refused to concede the Florida gubernatorial election to Rick Scott on primary election night, many were worried the division would hurt Republican chances in November.

But a GOP "unity event" seems to have made that less likely.

As Abel Harding reported:

One of the stars of the show was former Gov. Jeb Bush, who had been barnstorming the state with Bill McCollum just weeks before. Fresh off Scott's victory, and with Disney themes apparently dancing in his head, Bush promised the world to the assembled faithful.
"Your dreams will come true with Rick Scott as governor," Bush told the crowd.

This is shaping up to be an interesting general election. Independent candidate Bud Chiles is reportedly planning to endorse Democrat Alex Sink.

Meanwhile, there is speculation that Scott will select Rep. Jennifer Carroll, an African-American state representative from Jacksonville who has a 20-year military record, as his running mate.

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
