Post debate surveys indicate that Crist came in first, Scott third, and the fan a close second.

I wonder if refusing to take the stage for a debate on live TV is disqualifying for @FLGovScott? Let's ask @chucktodd.

(83,748 posts)Wednesday nights Florida gubernatorial debate almost didnt happen. But once Republican Gov. Rick Scott joined party-switching predecessor Charlie Crist on the stage, it was clear how much they detest each other.
After a bizarre, seven-minute standoff over whether Crist could keep a fan under his podium and Scotts brief refusal to debate until it was removed the pair clashed for the remainder of an hour over everything from the economy, education, stand-your-ground laws, gay marriage and Medicare.
snip
Crist who governed the state from 2007-2011 as a Republican accused Scott of slashing education, causing utility rates to spike and caring more about the rich than the middle class. He also said he perpetrated the largest Medicare fraud in U.S. history during his pre-political career as a hospital executive.

The sad part is that it's hiding from a fan that has made @FLGovScott a natl joke, not overseeing the biggest Medicare fraud in US history

Thank you so much for the link, she!
"That's the ultimate pleading of the Fifth Amendment I've ever heard in my life," Crist said..
The mods didn't like Charlie taking advantage of the no show by the petulant RS. lol

(53,661 posts)So surreal. He makes a mockery of elections. But then look at what Jeb did.
The King of Florida wants to hang out with a king, thinks it'll rub off on him:
