Rick Scott, a Republican candidate for governor in Florida, goes to town on Obama and Park51/Cordoba House in a new TV spot released today. It seems like many Republicans (and certainly Scott) see the president’s position as a boon, and this is a pretty good illustration of how completely nationalized the issue has become since Obama weighed in. Not mentioned in the ad: Scott’s GOP rival Bill McCollum, their eventual Democratic foe Alex Sink, or the word “Florida.”
