Florida Senate candidate Marco Rubio (R) just agreed to a debate with Gov. Charlie Crist and Rep. Kendrick Meek (D-Fla.), then immediately said yes to six more. This is the kind of scenario that might prove problematic for Crist’s campaign, notes the St. Petersburg Times’ Adam Smith:
In a three-person debate, it would be Rubio and Meek each taking turns hitting Crist and pressing him on flip-flops and inconsistencies. It’s hard to stay above the fray when you’re the main target.
But skipping most of the debates is equally problematic. If Meek agrees to these debates and the networks agree to televise them with or without all three candidates, Crist would be letting Meek raise his profile as the Democratic alternative to Rubio.
Here’s the tentative debate schedule:

Very Interesting… When corrupt, financially irresponsible candidates begins to get elected into positions of power, it's a sure sign that the country is heading down…

There is an honest candidate out there, and his name is Alex Snitker.
Why is he not being invited and even bared from participating on any of these debates? Is that fair? Doesn't this violate the freedom of speech and the voters right to know?
