Poll: Rick Scott or Allen West as VP Would Hurt Romney in Florida

As always, Florida will be a critical swing state in the 2012 election. According to the latest Public Policy Polling survey, President Barack Obama currently has a 5-point lead over Mitt Romney. So what could Romney do to improve his chances? Well, he certainly shouldn’t take Sarah Palin’s advice and pick Allen West as his running mate. Though, he could do worse than West. He could pick Governor Rick Scott.

Both Republicans appear to be political poison in their home state right now.
