Alex Sink fires staffer Brian May after governor's debate gaffe
   
TAMPA, Florida -- Democratic candidate for governor Alex Sink has fired a staffer who broke the rules by trying to coach her during a debate.

Sink said in a statement that she "immediately removed" from her campaign an aide who tried to communicate with her via a cell phone text message shown to her during a break in Monday night's debate. That broke ground rules that both campaigns had agreed to beforehand.

Her Republican opponent, Rick Scott, mentioned the gaffe when the CNN debate came out of the commercial break, and his campaign fired out press releases to reporters pointing it out.

CNN reports the aide was Brian May, who signed the rules agreement before Monday's debate.

"I was shocked. you know the rules, you follow the rules," said Scott after a breakfast visit with Pasco County supporters at the start of a week-long bus and plane tour of the state. If an aide had done the same thing for him, he said, "I wouldn't have read the e-mail."

It appears that the media hit pieces on Dems are appearing more quickly than ever...

I figure if you goons can bash Meg Whitman who did all the right things with her maid, we get to bash Alex for this.
I'd say that would be fair.  :-)

I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

Interesting how quickly they change a fact/truth to "a media hit piece"

Hell they wouldn't recognize a fact if it hit them in the face.

Typical Dem 'Rules are for the little people' viewpoint.  Atypically, caught red-handed and called on it.
