Alex Sink Tears into the White House

Less than a week after her defeat to Republican candidate Rick Scott in the gubernatorial race, state CFO Alex Sink, the Democratic nominee, weighed in on the election with Jonathan Martin at Politico. Sink ripped into the Obama administration, saying that Scott ads linking her with the president helped doom her candidacy. She also argued that the White House was sleepwalking -- ignoring political realities on a number of fronts.

"I think they were tone-deaf, said Sink in the interview. They weren't interested in hearing my opinion on what was happening on the ground with the oil spill. And they never acknowledged that they had problems with the acceptance of health care reform.
