Kendrick Meek and Charlie Crist joined forces Sunday to try paint their opponent and the Florida Senate race front-runner, Marco Rubio, as too extreme for voters.

“Let me say this. We know why the governor is running as an independent. Because he couldn’t beat Marco Rubio! Let’s just put it that way, let’s just put it that way,” Meek said.

The debate turned to the expiring Bush tax cuts, over whether to extend them for all Americans, including the wealthiest, or just for those making under $250,000 a year. Rubio wants to extend them all while Meek wants to keep them for those just making under $250,000.

“He is thinking of ideology that would put the middle class in the hole,” Meek said. “If we are going to govern, we are going to have to govern in a responsible way.”
