70 Days, Over 100 Bad Stories About Scott

WASHINGTON, June 17 -- The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee issued the following news release:

To mark the 70th day of Rick Scott's Senate campaign, here's a look back at over 100 scathing stories he's suffered since his announcement. His cronyism and corruption, offensive comments about Puerto Rico and health care agenda that spikes costs and slashes coverage have all dominated the race. With a record like this it's no wonder Scott couldn't win by more than 1 point in historic GOP wave elections and spent more money to get fewer votes than any other Republican. See for yourself:
