Governor Scott claimed that he has an unusual condition that makes him extremely sensitive to sunlight that could prove a personal embarrassment if he is exposed to the sun.

talking points to Mr. Crist, giving him an unfair advantage. The rules DID say "no electronic devices."

how he'd respond if someone pointed a laser light at him from the audience..?
