Charlie should re-think further debates with Rubio
By Chris Ingram
After watching Charlie Crist and Marco Rubio this morning on Fox News Sunday, it was clear voters have a choice. Unfortunately the choice is between two flawed candidates. One who is a big-spending liberal when it comes to policy, the other is a big-spender with other people’s money who doesn’t seem to know right from wrong.
In a nutshell, the result of the first “debate” between Florida’s two main Republican U.S. Senate candidates was, Marco beat Crist but it was a TK, not a knock-out punch.
Despite being more seasoned in the arena, and having participated in more debates, Crist came across as shallow and desperate. He continues to only speak in platitudes about being “for the people” – so much so I wonder when John Morgan the ubiquitous Florida trial lawyer whose ads run non-stop on television claiming to be “for the people” is going to file a lawsuit against him for trademark infringement.
