Rick Scott Wins Third And Final Debate
Scott campaign spokesman Joe Kildea said, “Rick Scott was the runaway winner in the debate tonight. Failed CFO and Obama liberal Alex Sink evaded serious questions about her record. She proposes $12.5 billion in spending but refuses to answer whether she will raise taxes to pay for it. She won’t level with voters about the number of criminals she approved to sell insurance in Florida, she won’t take responsibility for the billions of dollars in state pension funds that were thrown down the tube on risky investments on her watch. In contrast, Rick presented a clear plan to create 700,000 private sector jobs and get Florida back to work. Rick Scott is the clear choice to be the next governor of Florida.”

Sink Is The “Insider” In Governor’s Race “‘I wouldn’t underestimate Scott as much as the Democrats are,’ said Matthew Corrigan, political scientist at the University of North Florida. ‘Scott’s a wild card … and it’s better to be an ‘outsider’ than an ‘insider’ this year. Sink now becomes the insider in the race; I’m sure that’s not what she wanted.’” (Whittenburg, Catherine, “Scott: A gift to Democrats or their worst nightmare?” Tampa Tribune, 8/30/10)
“Sink has long been one of those behind-the-scenes players whose money and Rolodex help get people elected”(St. Petersburg Times, 5/26/02)
