Crowley Political Report

This being Throwback Thurday, Crowley Political Report offers you a look back at the 2010 Florida Republican Party gubernatorial primary.

It was one of the most fascinating political events in Florida history. The establishment ordained candidate - Bill McCollum, suddenly faced an onslaught from an a little known businessman who had never before run for office.

What Rick Scott did have was the more than $70 million of his own cash that he was willing to spend to move into the governor's mansion. 

Here's a look back. 

In this ad - Scott's Let's Get to Work committee accused McCollum of flip-flopping on issues such as immigration. At the time, Scott was a hard-core supporter of a controversial Arizona immigration law allowing police to demand immigration papers from anyone at anytime with little reason to ask.  

In this next ad, Scott, who uses his personal jet to fly around Florida, accused McCollum of using state planes for private use.
