Jim Geraghty over at Campaign Spot beat me to the news: Gov. Charlie Crist will not be appearing with Marco Rubio and Kendrick Meek for a “Meet the Press” debate this Sunday.

The Miami Herald reports that, “‘The governor has long planned Labor Day events, when he’ll be out talking to working families,’ said Crist spokesman Danny Kanner.”

On the positive side, at least Rubio and Meek will have something to agree on during the debate, as they pile on Crist together in his absence.
