Always thought Scott was a nut.
Gov. Rick Scott says he won t debate because of Charlie Crist s fan but then relents Tampa Bay Times [Video]
DAVIE — At the start of Wednesday night's debate at Broward College, it was announced that Florida Gov. Rick Scott would not debate because of Charlie Crist's fan.
The Scott campaign cited debate rules saying there could be no electronic equipment on stage.
"Are we really going to debate a fan?" Crist said, standing alone at the podiums set up for two candidates. The former governor is known for bringing a portable electronic fan for interviews, speeches and other public appearances.
"This is remarkable over a trivial issue no matter which side you're on," said Frank Denton, editor of the Florida Times-Union, one of the debate monitors.
After about seven minutes, Gov. Scott took the stage and the debate began.
