I have a personal soft spot for the awfulness of Kendrick Meek and Christine O'Donnell. I should send personal thank you notes to both candidates for the great comedy material they provided this blog.

Alex Sink and Charlie Crist both made The Daily Rundown's finalists for worst candidate. What made Alex Sink stand out is she lost to Rick Scott. Losing to a man whose company was caught embezzling $1.7 billion from Medicare is pretty bad.

This campaign cycle had its share of horrible candidates. Rick Scott being one of them. It is not a stretch to think Sink would have trouble running a campaign against someone as loony as Allen West.
