Update 8:17 a.m.: Scott's campaign now says he didn't refuse to take the stage and that it was a mix-up -- though it acknowledges that the fan was at issue in the moments before the debate. From Scott campaign manager Melissa Sellers:
"So, let's get one thing clear: Rick Scott never refused to take the stage and debate. In fact, our campaign was not notified Charlie had even taken the stage because the last we heard, Crist was in an 'emergency meeting' with debate organizers pleading for his precious fan.
"But Charlie Crist can bring his fan, microwave, and toaster to debates - - none of that will cover up how sad his record as Governor was compared to the success of Governor Rick Scott."

Charlie CRIST is a SWEAT HOG. I guess that works well for him in the Bath Houses.
Crist needs a fan, his core beliefs have always depended on which way the wind was blowing.
MAJOR HURL ALERT!
They really screwed Scott on this. There is a reason they negotiate debate procedures before any agreement is reached, sweating and lighting might have Richard Nixon the election in 1960, and the dems have been trying to the same crap ever since. The debate sponsors should have never let the Crist team put the fan on the podium in the first place.
Scott so blew it and apparently he is not fast on his feet.
He should have said, “No fans allowed, he has to sweat just like the rest of us and I get to see his orange sun tan drip down his face.”
KISS principle response
“You afraid of letting people see you sweat Charle?
Infotrms and ridicules, short and sweat, uh sweet. ;>)
Agreed, nice. Quick stab.
There’s a debate right now on ABC Action News hosted by CNN. This is the final debate. You can watch it on line. Lost the url. See through podiums this time. No way to hide fans, etc.
