1. Wow.

[Sancho]

2. fan-gate!!!

Scott demonstrated his personality disorder...what a nut!

[Thespian2]

3. Apparently

Criminal pricks do not like fans powered by electricity.

[Johonny]

4. Scott doesn't want to have any fans and after tonight...

[Iliyah]

5. Is this real?

[brewens]

6. The Hills Have Eyes II! Who freakin' needs to be drug tested down there? Over a fan? Comedy gold!

[KeepItReal]

7. Ok I thought this was about an extra supporter on stage or something

Not an actual electric plastic fan.

SMDH

20. That's what I thought. There are 2 rules getting mixed up here, it seems

1) No fans (human supporters) on the stage

2) No electronic devices (a fan is not an electronic device)


Evidence, if any more were needed, that Republicans are against regulations (rules) unless they can try and bend them to their advantage.

8. This reminds me of the famous Kennedy/Nixon debate.

Scott is obviously worried that he'll appear nervous and sweaty if he doesn't have a fan, too.

Okay, so why don't we just concede in advance that if we see Scott sweating, it's not because of the fan imbalance. It's just that he's a nervous, petty little crook whose HMO was fined a billion dollars for FRAUD, and he's worried the same thing will happen again if he's forced to go back to civilian life.

9. Maybe he's a reptile that cant sweat and was hoping Crist would sweat

like a real human.

[TrollBuster9090]

11. Very true!

So, having a fan took away his edge. Now I see why he was so pissed about it.

[judesedit]

16. So give Scott a fan, too, so he doesn't take his ball and go home. What a loser.

[TrollBuster9090]

23. I've got to hand it to the Crist camp on that one. They probably KNEW he'd react that way,

and were only trying to provoke his people into showing their pettiness.

[Cha]

10. So they didn't make him take his fan away?

[Sancho]

12. Honestly, if you watched the debate, Scott is really, really bad at debating...

He stutters, hits his pen on the podium (audible), moves around, seems nervous, and even has trouble forming sentences.

It's so distracting that I can hardly listen to what he's trying to say.

Crist's answers were very good except the one on "church vs. science". Both Crist and Scott didn't show much understanding of theology or science.

Other than that, Scott got numbers mixed up (jobs, dollars, etc.) and was simply wrong on some things (like Jeb's legislation)!

Crist showed much better knowledge of Florida (he was attorney general, sec. of education, and grew up here). If there were any undecided voters out there (not likely), they should have picked up on that...but they didn't mention women's issues or undocumented issues nearly enough.

14. Yes Scott is horrific all the way around.

In 2010, he refused to take media questions after the debate... Jeb Bush answered his questions for him. He's a total Bush tool. He needs to go before 2016 or they will steal this state.

[EEO]

13. Can we just trade Florida for Puerto Rico?

In fact, Florida can become its own independent state and take Alabama and Mississippi with it (take some big time "takers" off the government rolls). Puerto Rico can become a state and Florida (with the other two) can become its own backward, shit-kicking country.

[judesedit]

15. An electric fan is NOT an electronic!The law refers to cellphones, blackberries, etc.Scott's an ass

[Skraxx]

17. I Think Scott Just Blew The Election Here

[Roland99]

18. Can't wait to hear Chuckie Todd's take on this.

:crickets:

[Roland99]

19. Oh wait...he thought the request was weird

despite the fact that Crist has long asked for a fan when speaking

[YOHABLO]

21. Can't wait to see what Stewart and Colbert do with this crap.

[blkmusclmachine]

22. 2 Republicans duking it out
