Robo Rick Scott

Try as he might to improve his image, the least popular governor in America is stuck in reverse.

Memo to RoboRick: Robocalls are not popular. People do not like being interrupted by auto-recordings, especially from a failed governor who is destroying his own state. Especially a failed governor who is trying to brag about it.

Via Taegan:

…Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) is using automated phone calls to let voters know what he’s doing, the Miami Herald reports.

“Political robocalls are nothing new in the final weeks of a campaign season, but for the first time anyone can recall Scott has the state GOP paying for regular recorded calls touting his day-to-day accomplishments. It’s part of his continuing effort to bypass the traditional media and communicate directly with voters.”

So the state GOP is footing the bill for a first: Annoying voters while avoiding the press. A twofer.
