[SPEECH] Alex Sink Concedes, Concession to Rick Scott

Alex Sink Concedes, concession to Rick Scott.  Alex Sink is Florida's CFO, and she made a bid as the Democratic candidate for governor.  She would have been the first woman governor of Florida. Rick Scott, the GOP candidate, ended up winning the race.


Many were afraid that the "r-word" would become in play in Florida again.  What's the R-word? Recount. However, Alex Sink finally conceded to Rick Scott and now the GOP took the Florida governor's governor's seat. 


During her concession speech, Sink said "we fought very, very hard."  Given the closeness of the race, a recent scandal in which Sink had to fire an aide after sending her a text message during a debate could have cost her crucial votes. 


Still yet, all that changes nothing now that all is said and done.  Rick Scott is the governor elect, and you can see some of Alex Sink's concession below: 

Marco Rubio Wife

Marco Rubio's wife is Jeanette Dousdebes Rubio, a 36 year old former Miami Dolphins cheerleader. Rubio is the Tea Party backed candidate who won a three way race for the Florida Senate seat. Rubio is the former speaker of the State House of Representatives.

Despite her past as a cheerleader, she quit after one year. She married Marco Rubio and now is a SAHM with four kids. She also leads a weekly bible study group.

The couple married in 1998 and have two daughters Amanda and Daniella and two sons Anthony and Dominic. The girls are older than the guys.

In the wake of being the "epitome of the Tea Party Movement" attention is on all things Rubio. His wife, given her past involved with the NFL is very high profile and is something that provides an interesting side story to the election results.

Do you think that Marco Rubio wife's pretty?

Alex Sink Controversy

Alex Sink Controversy.  Did Alex Sink cheat during the Florida gubernatorial debate, and will the "textgate" benefit her opponent, Rick Scott?   During a debate, Sinks makeup artist walked over to her and showed her a text message.  The message was a note from Sink's staffer, and Sink said she never solicited the message.  The staffer has since been fired. 


Alex Sink also said that she thought that the text message was from a family member.  However, supporters of Scott indicate that if you listen carefully, the makeup artist does identify the text as from her campaign.  Basically, Rick Scott is accusing Alex Sink of cheating AND lying about it. 


Pretty heavy stuff, huh? What do you think of the Alex Sink controversy?
