Alex Sink Is "Embarrassed" By Joe Biden, But Not His Campaign Cash

CNN reported last week that Alex Sink will be attending a fundraiser with Joe Biden this evening in Coral Gables, Florida, about 280 miles away from the Pinellas County Congressional District she now considers a rental destination. 

However, as the Tampa Bay Times reports, it is pretty astounding that Sink would appear with Biden, given her treatment of the Vice President in when she ran for governor in 2010: 

That she would go that far to be with Biden stands in stark contrast to her last run for political office. In 2010, Sink wanted little to do with him.

In the heated gubernatorial race with Rick Scott, she was the only statewide Democratic candidate to skip a Biden appearance in Hollywood.

"My focus has to be on Florida, on shaking lots of hands of Florida voters. And Vice President Biden is not a Florida voter," Sink said then. "I know him. I can talk to him just about any time I need to speak with him."

"It was just so off target and out of touch with the reality of what's going on over there," Sink said in a July 2010 interview with Politico at the Florida Democratic Party headquarters in Tallahassee.

Seems pretty clear that Alex Sink's campaign so desperately needs money that she will travel hundreds of miles away from her adopted Congressional District to raise money with a man who once "embarrassed" her.

Alex Sink Cancels Debate To Attend Fundraiser In Washington, DC

According to SaintPetersBlog, it looks like Alex Sink forced a local group to reschedule a debate so that she could raise money from national Democrats and lobbyists in Washington, DC:

Jolly and, presumably, Sink had agreed to participate in a February 5th Tiger Bay program. However, nearly three weeks after that date was set, the organization reached out to Jolly to ask that he agree to reschedule the event. Gerard wrote to Jolly, "...we have a problem with Tiger Bay on February 5th."

That problem, Gerard couldn't/wouldn't say was that the Tiger Bay debate on February 5th interferes with a fundraising reception for Sink in Washington D.C.

...

Perhaps the D.C. fundraiser was already on Sink’s calendar. That could be the case. Or she could have shuffled a Tiger Bay appearance to raise money from D.C. lobbyists so that she can air more television ads attacking Jolly for being a D.C. lobbyist.
