He ran as an independant, and Meek as the Democrat took 20% of the vote.
That was for a Senate seat in the "Year of the Tea Party."
Now he's a Democrat, and opposes Scott alone for the governorship.
But I make no predictions that he can unseat a crook, in Florida.

Scott did one thing that impressed me. When the Feds tried to hand
him a multi-billion pork barrel project to build high speed rail
between Tampa and Orlando he said no thanks. Scott said the project
was ill advised, not needed and a financial boondoggle - absolutely
right on all counts. Not many governors would have done that.

The $2.4 billion was quickly allocated to about 24 other states.
Good for Scott. I'm sure those states appreciated his largess.
This disputes your contentions:

But facts are useless when you're talking extremist politics.
Scott is now doing something similar anyway, but with slow trains.
