Video ended too early. What did they do? Call Crist the winner?

He came out, repeated he doesn't believe in discrimination and thanked trayvon martins parents for not starting a riot. (not lying about that last but he insinuated some nasty stuff about missouri and the Ferguson movement)

If the rules say no fan, why's he got a fan?

No electronic devices.
There was a controversy in 2010 that Nan Rich used a phone in a debate.

The rules said "no electronic devices" apparently.

I agree with you completely, but they're both morons.

I totally misread this, I assumed he was late to debate because he was talking to a fan backstage. This is much more hilarious.

rick scott is one of the 3 most detestable people on earth after kim jong un and arthur gies
The rules say 'no electronic devices'. Unless these simple fans are more complicated than I believe, I would have a very hard time defining them as electronic.

That might be even more bizarre than a no fan rule.
LOL what a top 3
He gives no fucks, and why should he. Man knowingly gets away with a huge case of Medicare fraud, in Florida of all places, and gets elected Governor. I mean, you can't even make that shit up.
Probably hot as shit on that stage in a suit.
Someone needs to teach Scott the difference between electric and electronic.

Yeah, I don't think a normal fan has any circuitry in it so it's not actually an electronic device.
Even if there was some rule that through tortured logic you could construe would apply to fans, how petty can you get?

Well no shit, I would've thought a fan would've been something requested by both candidates.
Maybe Rick Scott is Korean.

I love that someone had to start a "FOLLOW THE RULES" chant because of their political affiliation, when it blew my mind that they weren't allowed fans to begin with, and the request was clearly only initially denied because Scott thought it would put Crist at a disadvantage, since he asked for one.
