Live Blogging Senate Debate
7:07 Marco Rubio denies previous stance supporting privatization of Social Security.
7:08 Charlie Crist attacking Rubio on raising age of Social Security and privatization.
7:09 Kendrick Meek already boring me. He should just say, "I support Social Security."
7:10 Meek: "Whatever the magic number is." That's wonky.
7:11 Meek will pretect SS because he was a college special teams player. I'm sold.
7:12 Rubio attack Meek's "stand up for the middle class" as not a plan. Rubio is right. Rubio and Meek get bitchy with each other on who supports wasting the most tax money.
7:13 Crist ties immigration amnesty to Social Security. Decent policy idea.
7:15 Rubio bullshits about his astroturf football field.
7:15 Crist, Meek, Rubio asked about the CREW list. Heh.
7:17 Rubio and Meek get into it again. Meek should continue to hit with the middle class.
7:18 Rubio bashes the stimulus and offered no alternative. If there was no stimulus we be in a depression.
7:19 Crist: I don't know how you can look them in the eye Marco and take food off their table." Nice shot.
7:21 Meek: "This race is far from over." Actually it's over.
7:23 Crist is talking about bipartisanship. Good luck with that. Crist is right about Washington being crippled.
7:24 Rubio never said anything about the federal government spending less than it takes in when Bush was in office.
7:25 Crist is wrong about Medicare advantage. MA is wasteful.
7:26 Good line from Crist about Rubio drinking Kood Aid and tea.
7:28 Meek makes good point that insurance companies were raising rates and dropping people before passage of health care bill.
7:30 Oh God. Crist is actually bragging about the horrible Cover Florida.
7:30 Rubio offers no ideas on health care.
7:31 Meek just said that trickle down economics helped middle class. Bad verbal slip.
7:33 I rather policy free debate.
7:33 Rubio keeps saying he would be an alternative but fails to provide details. Rubio in Washington would be Jim DeMint's lackey.
7:35 Rubio asked about extending Bush tax cuts. Rubio goes into the talking points about bad time to raise taxes.
7:37 Rubio proposes a spending freeze. That didn't work too well for Hoover.
7:38 Meek hammers Rubio on tax cuts. Mentioning PAYGO is good.
7:39 Crist loves tax cuts.
7:41 I wished the campaign was more of Meek hammering Rubio.
7:42 Meek is right that victory in Afghanistan is hard to define.
Rubio doesn't seem to be aware that the Taliban is already in Pakistan.
7:47 Rubio against Afghanistan withdrawal timeline.
7:48 Rubio dodges Tampa to Orlando question. A true profile in courage.
7:50 Crist correctly ties infrastructure to job creation.
7:51 Meek: "Charlie Crist stands on a wet paper box." Good line.
7:53 Crist fudging his gay adoption stance.
7:54: Rubio points out to Crist that Florida is worse off. Ouch.
7:55 Rubio dodges gay adoption question.
Meek came off better than expected. Crist was polished and dodging his past policy positions. Rubio ducked questions and stuck to talking points.
Meek had the good performance he needed. Where has this guy been during the campaign. Unfortunately for Meek, not a lot off people will have seen the debate.
