So get this. Rick Scott, Tea Party Governor of Florida is running ads on MSNBC attacking former Republican-turned-Democrat Charlie Crist as a phony Democrat, quoting Dem politicians slamming Crist back during his GOP days.

Nothing wrong with that; actually sounds pretty shrewd. The ads are legit in the sense that they are identified as paid for by the Scott-affiliated 527 group, Let’s Get To Work. But of course there’s no mention of Scott and the Governor doesn’t have to be on MSNBC saying the familiar “I’m Rick Scott and I approve this message.” Which presumably might deflate the effect among the target audience of committed libs and Dems.
