Well, this didn't quite go as planned for Gov. Rick Scott (R-FL). He's already abandoned the legislative session, and is out on the campaign trail, instead of at work in Tallahassee. One of those campaign stops was at a senior center in Boca Raton, designed to be a friendly media opportunity where Scott could commiserate with seniors about all those "Obamcare cuts to Medicare." You know, the favorite Republican Medicare lie?

The 20 seniors assembled for a roundtable with Scott at the Volen Center were largely content with their Medicare coverage and didn’t have negative stories to recount.

And some praised Obamacare–a program that Scott frequently criticizes.

"I'm completely satisfied," Harvey Eisen, 92, a West Boca resident, told Scott.

Eisen told the governor he wasn't sure "if, as you say," there are Obamacare-inspired cuts to Medicare. But even if there are, that would be OK. "I can't expect that me as a senior citizen are going to get preferential treatment when other programs are also being cut."

1. Good to hear this,

and pleased that Mr. Eisen put it so well, from the (educated, informed and wealthy) town in which my folks lived for 30 years.

3. I got an email earlier today, asking me to sign a petition asking for a Dem primary debate.

I wonder if the DNC is backing Charlie.
