Rubio wants 10 debates with Crist

by Michael C. Bender | June 22nd, 2009

rubioRepublican Marco Rubio this morning challenged Gov. Charlie Crist to a series of at least 10 debates before their GOP primary contest on Aug. 24, 2010.

From Rubio’s letter to Crist (which you can read here):

As you approach your third decade in elected office, you have fostered a reputation as a formidable fundraiser who has broken many of Florida’s fundraising records. I am sure this campaign will be no different and fully expect that I will have to work twice as hard as you to remain competitive. While we are opponents for the same office, I am also confident we can maintain a cordial and respectful debate that will help our campaigns rise above the typical 30-second commercials, slick slogans and bumper stickers that define too many of our country’s political contests.
