Video: Florida frenemies?



>>> welcome back. florida will be a big win, of course, for either candidate. but his campaign across the state politico reports governor romney is keeping florida 's republican governor at a distance. it shows governor rick scott has a 46% approval rating, but at one point this summer he was considered the least popular gop governor anywhere. politico writes, quote, embracing him is no help to him in a must-win state. the most of any competitive state out there. let's bring in james who kovcovers the campaign for politico. he assesses who is a good friend or enemy. he picked governor scott to push off in a bit and brush his shoulders off and keep him at bay.

>> that's absolutely right, tamron. he's the elephant not in the room. the governor is glaringly absent from romney stump speech . he talks as if jeb bush is still governor. he hasn't appeared with him in public since the beginning of august, but he's willing to do his behind closed door. rick scott with romney at a closed door fund-raiser this weekend in palm beach . in public he doesn't want anything to do with him.

>> it's not as if it's a secret they met privately. so why do one thing in the quiet rooms and behave differently out front before the public?

>> tamron, in a close election florida could come down to a couple hundred votes and there's no sense putting an anchor on you. romney is outperforming rick scott . he's not popular here. there's a big difference in how they talk about the economy. rick scott is praising economic growth. mitt romney is talking about the problems under obama. when they're together, it looks awkward.

>> it's very different from the approach from john mccain with charlie crist we saw four years ago. we'll see if this strategy works. thank you so much for your time, james. we're sorry we're so brief, and we're grateful for it. we'll be right back. so you say men are superior drivers? yeah. then how'd i get this...
