| Description | In her strongest attack to date, Alex Sink went after Rick Scott during a meeting with the St. Petersburg Times editorial board, saying he's buying the governor's office.
ST. PETERSBURG -- In her strongest language yet, Democrat Alex Sink blasted Republican rival Rick Scott as a mystery candidate who is trying to buy his way into the governor's office, ``doesn't know zip about Florida'' and whose proposals are ``totally unrealistic.''
``I just refuse to let Rick Scott hijack my state without a fight,'' Sink said Monday in a meeting with the St. Petersburg Times editorial board.
Sink, 62, blamed Scott's lead in the latest polls on his campaign finance advantage. The former CEO of Columbia/HCA Corp. has spent more than $52 million of his own fortune, and Sink said he appears to be on track to spend $20 million more before Nov. 2.
``He's trying to buy the office,'' she said.
