Charlie Crist blows off 'Meet the Press'

Gov. Charlie Crist is not joining his rivals for the U.S. Senate, Republican Marco Rubio and Democrat Kendrick Meek, this Sunday on MSNBC's Meet the Press.

"The governor has long-planned Labor Day events, when he'll be out talking to working families,'' said Crist spokesman Danny Kanner.

Crist has only accepted one debate invitation so far, on Oct. 24 in St. Petersburg. Rubio and Meek have agreed to four other debates, and the Meek campaign is trying to work out a scheduling glitch on one more.

Back in March, when Rubio declined a Meet the Press date because he had promised FOX News the first debate between him and Crist, the governor told the Palm Beach Post: "This is a guy who says he’s willing to stand up to Barack Obama, but he won’t sit down with David Gregory on Meet the Press? The hypocrisy and inconsistency from Marco Rubio is appalling.”

I will keep saying it - he is a charlatan. Don't fall for his crap - and vote for the only Democratic Candidate in the race - Kendrick Meek :)
