White House bailing on Kendrick Meek in Florida? (Crist De Facto D-candidate)
Hot Air ^ | June 5, 2010 | Ed Morrissey

While Marco Rubio and Charlie Crist have snagged most of the headlines in Florida’s Senate race, Democrat Kendrick Meek has mostly been ignored — even by his own party. With two Republicans splitting the vote, a Democrat should have sailed into the lead … or at least into second place. Instead, Meek consistently comes in third in the three-man race in polling, and key Democratic strategists have begun to give up on Meek:

Charlie Crist — the new Arlen Specter. I will donate more to Rubio.

So does this mean Meek can expect to have a job offer “dangled” by the White House?

This is just another example of how the two party system is not about Republicrats...it’s about Washington insiders who inhabit the parties for the purpose of getting rich on inside information.

Crist is an insider...just like Specter, Dodd, and Frank...John McCain is another.

All of these people need to be defeated.

Is the Far Left takeover now so “transparent” that it manifests itself openly in the “Independent” and “Republican” races?

Isn't Meek essentially the candidate of the black wing of the democrat party?

If the democrat party forces their candidate out of the race and gets behind Crist, I have a hard time seeing large numbers of black voters coming out to vote for him, I imagine black turnout in Florida will by abysmal if that happens.

just another example of the system trying to keep a black man down?
Come on fellow Floridians, where’s that white guilt vote?

If he takes that job, he will be fully employed for many years to come. There will be plenty of work to do even after Obama leaves office.

Crist has already signaled that he would be Obamas b****.

I wonder if Meeks has gotten a job offer yet. Maybe head of the Florida tar ball beach patrol with an office in DC and a billion dollar budget.

It did not work for Specter or Parker Griffith in AL. Voters hate party switchers this year. Not to mention Crist will get 0 black vote.

Here's a few questions that come to mind.

These people actually really think they can get voters to pull the lever for a pink assed Lacoste golf shirt wearing Country Club Republican making believe he is an Independent making believe he is the “overwhelming” choice of the Democrats in Florida?

Do they think with all of the Democrat campaign “mouths” to feed they can justify throwing money at Crist?

Do they think that a Democrat consultant firm can craft a winning message for a guy who stands for nothing?

Do they think they have a chance of pulling Independents to Charlie?

Finally do they really believe they can get Blacks out to vote for pink assed Charlie after the Democrats throw Meek overboard?

Meek could not win this race if both Rubio and Crist dropped out, but Blacks won't see that.

The GOP Senate leadership are really on top of things. Another Rino win which means a Republican loss. Ofcourse there is no one running to represent Americans in this race. Too bad.
