  • FILE - In this Aug. 2, 2010 file photo, Florida Republican gubernatorial candidates Bill McCollum, left, and Rick Scott are shown before the start of their first face-to-face debate in Miami. Down in the polls for most of the summer and running out of money in a Florida governor's race once considered his to lose, Republican Bill McCollum's long career in public service is proving to be his albatross. In a year when angry voters are embracing fresh new faces, McCollum's primary opponent, wealthy businessman Rick Scott, is wielding the label career politician like a club, beating McCollum with it in endless TV commercials and two televised debates.
