Crist, Scott trade jabs in final debate

Associated Press 6:54 a.m. EDT October 22, 2014


JACKSONVILLE – Florida's leading candidates for governor clashed fiercely during their final debate Tuesday night, sniping at each other over everything from the economy and the minimum wage to the death penalty.

Both Republican-turned-Democrat Charlie Crist and Republican Gov. Rick Scott are essentially tied in the polls, and they used their final moment before the television cameras to come up with some of the most personal attacks leveled so far in what has already been a harshly negative campaign.

The debate's sponsors did not allow still photographers or reporters inside the studio during the event, preventing them from capturing the full context of how the candidates performed outside the view of the TV cameras.

one of the nastiest, but completely NOT really reporting some sort of results. I did read they blocked outside input, but many reporters saw it and are doing what they do. What abut checking facts, etc., seems something besides how nasty it was should be given coverage. Polls after debate show Crist won by a wide margin! Haven't read this whole article, will be back so just making my statement.
