Alex Sink went on MSNBC's Hardball Tuesday to answer Chris Matthew's questions about Florida politics and her breaking the rules during the debate the night before.

Sink told Matthews, on live TV, that the make-up artist approached her on the set and said, "I just got this message, I don't know who it's from." She said she thought it might be from her daughter studying abroad, so she looked.

A half hour later news analysts at CNN said they listened to the recording very closely and could hear the make-up artist say, "I have a message from the staff."
