Rick Scott and Alex Sink, candidates for Governor of Florida, met for a live debate on CNN. During the debate, GOP Scott pointed out that Sink had received a message during a break which was a violation of the agreed-upon rules. Ms. Sink issued the following, statement:
After the debate tonight, one of my campaign advisors admitted he tried to communicate with me during one of the breaks. While he told me it was out of anger with Rick Scott’s repeated distortion of facts, it was a foolish thing to do. It violated a debate agreement and I immediately removed him from the campaign.
