Two things were clear in the Florida U.S. Senate debate Sunday morning. First, the Democratic and independent candidates wanted to gang up on Republican Marco Rubio, who has led the race for the majority of the campaign. And second, Rubio and Democratic Rep. Kendrick Meek wanted to label independent Florida Gov. Charlie Crist as a flip-flopper who changes his views to match the political tides.
Accusations during the hour-long debate on CNN’s “State of the Union” clearly overwhelmed any discussion of the issues, which ranged from tax policy to immigration, to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, with Crist at one point even exclaiming to Rubio, “Welcome to the NFL!”
Here’s the Orange One hurling that Hail Mary:
Wow, does Crist know how to work up a crowd to embarrassed silence or what? He’s used the “Welcome to the NFL!” line before, usually when he’s just done something rotten and underhanded to Rubio. What Charlie Crist fails to realize is that if politics is the NFL, the voters are the refs.
