I'm in Homestead this afternoon at what was advertised as a talk between gubernatorial candidates @NikkiFried and @CharlieCrist. Crist is a no-show. So, Fried and @DwightBullard are having a far-ranging discussion that's now an exclusive promotion for Friend's campaign.

The @MiamiDadeBar invited both state Sen. @Annette_Taddeo and her incumbent CD 27 opponent, @MaElviraSalazar, to a candidate forum tonight. Taddeo was the only one to show up. She and Salazar in a dead heat heading into Election Day Tuesday. Salazar has refused to debate her.
