Crowley Political Report

Last night's Florida senate debate must have been especially frustrating for No Party Gov. Charlie Crist.

You could just tell he wanted to rip into Republican Marco Rubio but the stilted format gave Crist few opportunities to engage Rubio directly.

Rubio got in a nice little dig when he noted that Crist keeps talking about how he would bring warring factions of Senate Democrats and Republicans to the table for peace talks but seems unable to avoid picking fights during the campaign.

Overall the debate was pretty much a rehash of the soundbites that Crist, Rubio and Democrat Kendrick Meek have been using for months.

There is one point that Rubio keeps raising that makes Crowley Political Report worry about his mom.

Rubio keeps saying that "Social Security is the sole source of income that she has."

Really Marco?

Maybe you should pony up a few bucks to help mom out.
