Scott v Sink debate

Currently taking place on CNN, FWIW.

That was not a very good debate. A lot of sniping and cheap shots and very little actual discussion of how we get Florida on the right fiscal track. Neither candidate came across as professional or capable. Pretty sad.

With all the negative campaign ads on both sides, it is not surprising the issues were little discussed. Alex Sink fired an aide over trying to coach her on an issue which was against the debate rules. It is going to be interesting to see how this state is run in the future regardless of who wins.

While I normally like it when a debate is structured to be more than a series of 30 second sound bites, that was utterly useless, and the moderators did nothing to moderate the mess.

Alex Sink caught on tape cheating in last night's debate

 

[Smiling JOe]

Yes, but she fired the staffer who she blamed for breaking the rules of the debate.

 

[Andy A]

In all fairness, it wasn't her that caused the problem, it was an aide. Although maybe she should have had her blackberry, phone, whatever, turned off. Not the brightest move for someone running for governor as far as debate details are concerned.

It's really not big news. They could have been looking at her schedule, or an email concerning something else. Even if was notes, she couldn't have learned too much from that quick look.

It isn't enough to pull my vote one way or another. I don't like either of these candidates based on their former jobs -- Nations Bank president for Florida or Insurance giant CEO.

Yeah, I agree. Neither of them are coming across as what I'd like to see as Governor. I was fairly neutral about Christ, but he sure was better than these two.

We really don't know what either one would be like, do we? One or the other might be like Chris Cristy who has, and rightly so, shaken N.J. to its core.
