Insane Moment In Political Debate

Oct 16, 2014 Washington (CNN) -- Florida Gov. Rick Scott refused to go onstage for the first seven minutes of a debate Wednesday night, because his opponent had a fan.

No, not a rowdy supporter in the audience. An actual electric fan.
Scott's Democratic challenger, former Gov. Charlie Crist, had set up a small fan underneath his podium, apparently trying to keep himself from sweating under the Broward College stage's lights. Scott saw the fan, a prop that often accompanies Crist at public appearances, as a violation of the debate's rules and said he wouldn't participate. http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/15/politics/ ... index.html
Seems like the rule was regarding electronics, probably meant to disallow google searches or just talking points on a pad or whatever. Scott decided that it meant fans as well....Can't differentiate electrical from electronics

Technically this can be considered cheating and use of performance enhancing electronic devices.a fan can give someone an unfair advantage.

Ps.you should be banned since you have possibly come into contact with ebola.
