Alex Sink Continues the Debate About Debates

Florida CFO and gubernatorial candidate Alex Sink today renewed her call for five statewide televised debates and stressed the need for Rick Scott to participate in the Spanish-language debate being hosted by Univision on Oct. 8.

"Given the importance and strength of Florida's Latino communities, Rick Scott's refusal to join me for a statewide televised debate broadcast in Spanish is unacceptable and I urge him to reconsider," said Sink. "Spanish-speaking Floridians deserve to hear directly from both of us about our records and our plans to lead Florida. Rick Scott's avoidance of a Spanish-language debate is just another example of how he is trying to hide from the people of Florida. Scott would rather run negative ads attacking me than talk directly with Latino voters about issues critical for Florida."

Of course Sink failed to mention that Scott debated GOP primary rival Attorney General Bill McCollum in a Spanish debate. In the meantime, the debate about debates continues.
