Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum

Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum is going up today with his first ad in his state’s Republican gubernatorial primary. The ad’s star? Former Gov. Jeb Bush (R-FL).

“Tough times require proven leadership,” Bush says, “Bill McCollum is a principled conservative with a record of doing what’s right for Florida.”

Bush also says McCollum, who he refers to as “my friend,” is “leading the charge to stop President Obama’s health care takeover.”

McCollum faces health care astroturfer Rick Scott in the the August 24 primary.
