Sink sunk by modern day cheat sheet?
2010-11-11
[Washington Examiner] Alex Sink, the former Democrat candidate for governor in Florida, is now blaming the White House for her election loss to Rick Scott. Although she makes some good points, ultimately Sink might have been the one who sunk her own campaign. It was getting caught with a cheat sheet during a debate with Scott that might have been instrumental in her loss. More specifically it was the modern version of the cheat sheet in the form of getting debate tips via her cell phone although this was forbidden by the debate rules. Using cheat sheets is an old tradition with school students but the one hazard in using them, as Sink found out, is getting caught. Perhaps Sink needed instruction on the fine art of cheating.

#2  While I don't live in FL (live just across the line); Sink seemed to be a proven disaster; Scott has potential both ways. Scott was, according to a lot of different sources, never part of the Medicaid fraud investigation and was a very, very successful business man. From what I hear, he is letting his Lt. Gov., who does have political experience, deal with the legislature. Should be an interesting time.

#1  Dino pee on this already.

Scott won using the backlash and 73 million bucks.

39 peoples saw that debate and only 2 gave a damn.

Scott is a potential disaster, I hope the FL Senate can handle this mess.
