| Good morning. It's Friday, March 11. Marco Rubio, who faces a test in the Florida primary, fought to make an impression at the GOP presidental debate last night. He, Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and John Kasich talked mostly policy rather than personality. Meanwhile Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders held a rally in Kissimmee calling for a "political revolution." Hillary Clinton was in Tampa. Cruz swings by Orlando Friday morning for a rally as well. And see photos of fancy homes for sale in Winter Park. Here's what else is happening in Central Florida. Have a great weekend.
