We all thought maybe the guy was homosexual. Turns out, he just has a fetish for electric fans. Probably vacuum cleaners, too.

“Between 6 and 6:20 p.m., someone from the Crist campaign placed a fan under Charlie Crists podium”
Because $hit melts!

Crist probably spends a lot of quality time alone with his electric fan.
I was going to post a picture but it is rather crude. Let's just that pervs can hook their sex toy up to their electric fan.

Charlie Crist admiring his illegal electric crotch cooling fan.

Dean Ridings accepted a document with a handwritten notation that included the words "with understanding that debate hosts will address any temperature issues with a fan if necessary." Note even the hand written addendum by the Crist campaign (of dubious standing) doesn't give Crist the right to bring his own fan, it say that the DEBATE HOSTS will address any temperature issues with a fan in necessary." Still it was probably dumb for Scott to make a major deal over it and refuse to start the debate until it was resolved (his side disputes that by they way, they claim they thought Crist was refusing to start the debate).

->>The statement said the temperature at Bailey Hall at Broward College was 67 degrees at the time of the debate.
And, he needs a fan. Is the fan a bug or something. I saw him back when he pretended to be in support of traditional conservative thinking; different venues, a number of times. He seem like his appearance was always on his mind though, nowadays, he seems to be even worse. Didn’t someone in the press joke once about his tan spray running...He has really made a legacy for himself from flip flopping to one party to another party.

Who cares? The problem was Scott looked, and sounded, like an idiot.
ALL the public cares about is “it was just a friggin fan”. So Scott’s team is gonna argue a technicality? After 25 years of prosecuting let me tell you how much juries LOVE that.
I’ve aid it before and I’ll say it again. We need SMART conservatives. I beat Ronnie would have had another wonderful “I’m paying for this microphone ...” moment and not the sniveling response we got with Scott.
To: apillar
Scott didn't even know orange Charlie was on stage. They were told that Crist was busy fighting with organizers about his fan. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if Crist went on stage before anyone notified the Scott campaign that the debate was moving forward. We know Charlie was fighting with the debate organizers and was also late to the stage.
Scott is a victim of Democrat underhandedness. Crist is scum, and he proved it again last night. Scott must be shaking his head in amazement at how low some people will go. This kind of crap wouldn't be tolerated for long in the private sector. Charlie is a creature of the public sector.

In debates, when the lights are on you and you are being put on the hot seat, you do not want to appear to sweat.
Remember the commercial “Never let them see you sweat”?
This is very real.
I know that it sounds and looks petty, but a fan should have been put on each side just to keep it even.

Too little too late. The Debate is over and Scott really screwed the pooch. He acted like a 6th Grader. He should have gotten his a** out on the stage and found a way to make points off of the incident. "I gave in to Gov. Crist's demand for a fan, even though it breaks the Rules of the Debate. It's not worth Floridians not getting to know where we both stand on the issues. And, it's not worth Gov. Crist's tan melting right here in front of you." But, no, he blew it instead. Hey.............that's it........
The Scott campaign can start the "rumor" that Crist carries a fan with him everywhere he goes (which is true) because "sweating" makes his tan "splotchy". Hell go for it! That will turn-off a lot of good, ol', boys who work construction and manual labor, who might be thinking of voting for Crist.

That’s why they say that if you listened to the Nixon-Kennedy debate on the radio, Nixon clearly won. But if you watched it on TV, Kennedy clearly won, because of Nixon’s flop sweat.
