Flaw In The Logic

You know that conventional wisdom that "America hates Obamacare" and that running on repealing the law or suing the government is a winner?

That last part, not so much.  At least not in Florida.

 A new Quinnipiac poll of the FL governor's race finds that 54% of voters think that State Attorney General Bill McCollum's health care reform lawsuit is a "bad idea," compared to 40% who back the lawsuit.

McCollum (R) has been the public face of the constitutional challenge to health care reform, a suit he filed with 12 other state AGs.

According to the pollster's analysis, though, the "threatened lawsuit to void the new federal health care law doesn't sit well with voters, including independents, historically the key voting group."

This might explain the gains made by Florida Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink (D) since the last Quinnipiac poll in January, which showed McCollum leading by 41%-31%. This latest poll has McCollum only leading Sink 40%-36%.

Now this is interesting.  If the argument is that McCollum is suing because that's what the people of Florida want, why don't the people of Florida actually want McCollum to sue?

Perhaps somebody should ask him.
