TAMPA (FOX 13) -
Governor Rick Scott has agreed to
write blogs for the Huffington Post. He will use the opportunity to promote new
jobs and success stories here in Florida.
But the tone of his blogs may clash
with the message that the Romney campaign continues to press in Florida.
Mitt Romney has stressed the weak
economy in Florida, which he ties to President
Obama, and his campaign released a new ad that continues to focus on Florida's problems. In
the ad, the narrator says "Four years ago, Barack Obama was concerned about Florida's economy. But
under President Obama, there's been 8.6 percent unemployment, record
foreclosures, and 600,000 more Floridians in poverty."
As Romney is turning up the heat on
President Obama by stressing Florida's
problems, progressive commentator Arianna Huffington invited Governor Scott to
explain how Florida
is improving, and how small businesses are succeeding.
Governor
Scott accepted the invitation. A spokesman for Governor Scott said his
submissions will focus on job creation and education. Scott has not yet decided
how many blogs he will write.
