The cycle of over-reach and backlash is in over-drive these days—with significant implications for the 2012 presidential election.

"It's taken Gov. Scott less than 100 days to begin a free fall in popularity."
Fifty-five percent of Florida voters disapprove of Scott's job in office, while only 32 percent approve, according to a mid-April PPP poll. The Suffolk University poll found that 41 percent of respondents said the new gov's first months in office had been "negative and damaging"
