Three of the candidates for U.S. Senate from Florida will debate each other on October 15.  They are Republican Marco Rubio, Democrat Kendrick Meek, and independent candidate Charlie Crist, the incumbent Governor.

Alex Snitker, the Libertarian nominee, has been pressing repeatedly to be invited into one of the U.S. Senate debates, and Crist has said he wants Snitker to be invited.  But the major party nominees do not wish Snitker to be invited.  The October 15 debate will be the third for these three candidates, and they plan three more debates after October 15.
