Crist and the GOP's chances of taking over the Senate
Another very odd McCollum-Scott video

Rick Scott attacks Bill McCollum for use of state plane

While technically it is not a Rick Scott ad but the group "Let's Get to Work" financed by Scott's wife, Crowley Political Report declines to play the game.

It's a strong ad likely to wrinkle the noses of people who see it. The ad accuses Attorney General Bill McCollum of using the state plane for personal travel. The ad is based on stories by the Miami Herald and St. Petersburg Times.

Now here's an interesting Politifact. The Times/Herald Politifact dubbed the ad "barely true" because:

The 53 trips to Central Florida were found to have a public purpose by the Florida Commission on Ethics, and an ethics complaint against McCollum was dismissed. The auditor who labeled those trips a likely misuse of state resources did not include those findings in her final report.

So does that mean the original stories were "barely true?"  The video is on the next page.
