2. Rick Scott is the bumbling govnir of Florida. If you don't know much about him, personally, you might get a bit closer to him after you read this:

4. Eugene Robinson of the WashPost provides his views on Romney's position on no deportation of young immigrants, which is that he has none or just mealy-mouths something that actually says nothing.
