Alex Sink, the former Democrat candidate for governor in Florida, is now blaming the White House for her election loss to Rick Scott. Although she makes some good points, ultimately Sink might have been the one who sunk her own campaign. It was getting caught with a cheat sheet during a debate with Scott that might have been instrumental in her loss. More specifically it was the modern version of the cheat sheet in the form of getting debate tips via her cell phone although this was forbidden by the debate rules. Using cheat sheets is an old tradition with school students but the one hazard in using them, as Sink found out, is getting caught. Perhaps Sink needed instruction on the fine art of cheating.
My alma mater, North Miami High School, was once the center for one of the most overlooked art forms of our era---cheating on tests. Cheating in fact is still as much a public school institution as football, truancy, and low quality cafeterias. It must be remembered that cheating comes in many different forms and styles depending on the situation.

South Florida FYI
She is right...the WH only had enough time, money and people to rig the elections for Frank, Reid and Pelosi...Sink was just too far down the pecking order.
I know she got a text that said "Ask about XXXXX" What I'm not sure about is if she followed the advice or if she read the text and moved on to other things. So did she or was the text irrelevant to the rest of the debate?
FYI
It's a self-defeating scheme in other words. If cheaters put the time and effort into hard work that they put into cheating, they'd be better off.
Sounds as if Sink was neither smart enough to cheat effectively nor smart enough to stand on her own in the debate.
Oh man, now I'm going to have nightmares tonight. The thought of Sink as Governor gives me the heebee-geebee's.
If she had not lied to Chris Matthews on Hardball about the cheating she may very well have been elected anyway. She lied when she said her Hairdresser told her she didn't know who the message was from. CNN boosted the audio and found that the Hairdresser told her it was from someone on her staff. Chris called her on the lie the next day.On his TV program he had a graphic that said "Texts, lies and videotape." Then he told how she had not told him the truth the day before. She was caught cheating and then deliberately lied about it. She lost the election by 1.16 percent.
The campaign operative, once he decided to cheat, was really stupid to not just tell the makeup person what to whisper in her ear.
I always found that writing crib notes was a very effective studying technique. By the time I was prepared to cheat, I didn't need to anymore.
Now the chipmunk is reduced to a trivia question: “Name the only married couple to both lose elections for their state’s governorship?”
Ans: Chipmunk and Bill McBride.
FYI, any errors, omissions, or goofy stuff posted in the next few weeks by me will be blamed unilaterally on my new puppy. I’m not used to all the attention while FReeping...
So, if you don’t like puppies, have at it...
I think sink was sunk by her effort to run away from her liberal past, her ever running distance from her husband, and her pathetic stealth effort to conceal alex sink was a liberal leftist she not a he.
Is that an invite for Bill Brady?
I just found out that Alex Sink is a descendant of one of the Siamese twins, Chang Bunker. Each twin had a wife and lived in North Carolina. Soooo... How did that work out in bed? So much for privacy. Maybe there is a book out there on this topic.
Boy, you lost me on that one...
Quinn’s adverisement as to how Brady voted in favor of euthanising puppies in “batches”.
Never saw that one. But we don’t watch local TV.
