Florida Senate Debate Liveblogging

7:04 Rubio bashes the stimulus. Offers no alternative.

7:05 Crist makes good case for stimulus.

7:07 Meek floundering talking about Bush tax cuts. Meek is a horrible public speaker.

7:09 Crist asked would he raise taxes to cut the deficit. Crist wants more tax cuts. Crist is in economic fantasyland.

7:10 Crist can keep a straight face by saying education wasn't hurt by Florida budget cuts. It is B.S. but Crist delivers it with conviction.

7:12 Meek is really off to a bad start.

7:13 Moderator calls Crist and Meek for ducking question on what to do on Social Security. Meek talks about not shipping jobs overseas. WTF.

7:14 Seniors should be scared of what Marco Rubio would do for Social Security.

7:15 Is Rubio proposing a Social Security lockbox?

7:18 Meek is rambling. Meek is overcoached on talking points.

7:19 Rubio's "unemployment should be paid for" stance is dishonest. He doesn't feel that way about the Bush tax cuts. Rubio blames Obama for the entire deficit. Most of it is from Bush's two terms.

7:23 Rubio actually brags about the plan on his web site. Get the fuck out of her!

7:27 Crist brags about the failure known as Cover Florida.

7:29 Meek finally finds his voice talking about health care reform. Meek goes downright irate.

7:33 Why is the moderator talking about bats?

7:34 Crist nails Rubio on social issues. Good.

7:35 Meek asked about his positions being similar to Nancy Pelosi. Meek has never been accused of thinking outside the caucus box.

7:36 Rubio's platform is anti-immigration. Rubio knows he has to be anti-immigration to be in GOP.

7:38 William March questions Meek on Dennis Stackhouse controversy. Meek's response is he was a state trooper. WTF.

7:40 Meek makes me have a greater appreciation for the orator skills of Bob Dole.

7:41 Rubio: "I never had expenses paid for by the Republican Party." Bullshit.

7:42 Crist asked about Jim Greer. Not one of your best decisions, Charlie.

&;44 Short answer: Crist, Meek and Rubio have horrible ethics.

7:45 Ouch. Rubio calls Crist out on Crist changing parties because of his pollster.

7:47 If Rubio thinks Afghanistan is going to become a stable gov then he lives in la la land.

7;47 Rubio doesn't support an Afghanistan timetable. That timetable worked so badly for Iraq. Oh wait...

Tas tweeted this great comment on Crist, Meek and Rubio arguing who has the better ethics.

That's like a whore accusing another whore of fucking for money.

7:51 Meek is going to solve our border problems by being a junior senator with no say.

7:53 Rubio says this election about the future. I thought it was about Rubio getting a job. Government does create employment.

7:55 Shorter Charlie Crist: I defend everything that will get me elected.

7:56 Meek talking about "having a clear vision." No one would know what Meek's vision is based on rambling performance.
