Candidate's Debate Flap

During a commercial break in Monday's televised Florida gubernatorial debate, Democratic nominee Alex Sink was handed a cell phone displaying a text message from Sink's staff.   Unfortunately for Sink, her Republican opponent noticed.



"The rule was no one was supposed to give us messages during the break, and your campaign did with an iPad or an iPod," Republican Rick Scott said on air once the debate resumed.

Following the debate, Sink confirmed that an aide had violated the debate rules by handing her the message. Sink then acknowledged she had fired the aide in question.

(Tom sez: I was fixated more on Scott getting his head buffed.)
