I really don't know what to make of this, but I don't think it's going to be a good thing.

It's an attempt to shave off some of Charlie Crist's voters.

Linn is a nutcase, I've heard him in a radio interview and he said some things about Crist that if he says them during the debate will sink Crist's campaign.

He's a Democrat most likely.

Which explains why a Broward County Judge would force such a marginal candidate into the debate.

Looks like there's an appeal to this judge's ruling

Gubernatorial debate ruling to be appealed
http://www.news-press.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061024/NEWS0107/61024011/1075


Debate sponsors, Leadership Florida, the Florida Press Association and the Florida Public Broadcasting Service said they will appeal the decision by Broward Circuit Judge Leroy Moe.

“The judge simply opined that candidate Linn should have the opportunity to participate,” said Jeff Bartel, chairman of Leadership Florida. Bartel said neither Davis, a Tampa Congressman, nor Crist, the state attorney general, threatened to pull out.

Moe said the organizers’ insistence that candidates must surpass a 10 percent threshold in at least two polls violated Linn’s constitutional rights.

A vote for Linn is a vote for Algore.

He has a constitutional right to airtime in a debate that is funded by private entities? Heck, I want some airtime too!

Three way debate will make it easier for any of the candidates to slip up. It won't be a gop or dem managed affair. It will be precedent setting. I hope someone does a debate thread because I'm not able to watch tv tonight.

Katherine did great last night. She sashayed in front of the podium like nobody's business. Katherine even had a better answer re: global warming.

Considering that Max Linn is a long time friend of Charlie Crist but running against him as the reform candidate, tonight will be really interesting. Max has known Crist for years.

Max Linn is a great pilot to land a rental plane from St. Pete's hub airport onto an Orlando interstate. I don't know of any nutcases who have pilot's licenses.

I know some people in his campaign but I'm not really helping anybody. I'm just waiting for one of them to say something really stupid. It won't be long now.
