We just got back from the Marco Rubio/Bobby Jindal rally in a sweltering West Tampa Republican Party of Florida headquarters office, where we saw PBS NewsHour anchor Gwen Ifill interviewing attendees before the Senate candidate spoke to the crowd.
Ifill is working on a package on Florida's election, but she was already scheduled to be in the Sunshine State for a gubernatorial and senate debate between the respective candidates tomorrow in Orlando.
However, that ain't happening.
The debates, which were to be sponsored by PBS and The League of Women Voters, will not happen, mainly because Rick Scott, as well as Charlie Crist and Marco Rubio, wouldn't deign to appear in Orlando for them.
