A well-connected group of Democrats who came to Miami Beach for the state party's annual Jefferson-Jackson dinner tipped reporters to a new possible election development. The word is that Congresswoman Corrine Brown (D-Jacksonville) is seriously pondering a run for the U.S. Senate. Brown, who received her B.S. degree from FAMU, would face U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek, another FAMU graduate in the primary if she decided to enter the race.
State Sen. Tony Hill, who traveled with Brown to the Miami event, confirmed that he's interested in succeeding her in the U.S. House, should she decide to leave her seat.
With about $2 million in his campaign account, Meek is considered the Democratic frontrunner in the 2010 U.S. Senate race.
Brown's potential candidacy should be viewed as more of a nuisance rather than a serious threat to Meek. Here's why: Corrine Brown in action.
Update (6:00 pm): U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown confirmed that she is launching an exploratory campaign for U.S. Senate, and said an internal statewide poll shows her comfortably ahead of any Democratic contender including Kendrick Meek.
"Experience,'' she said, when asked why the 17-year U.S. House member would be a stronger candidate than Meek. "I like Kendrick and I love his mother but this is about making sure we have someone at the table when we're talking about energy, we're talking about education, we're talking about jobs, we're talking about health care."
Quit lying, this lady is a national embarrassment.
ReplyDeleteOMG! I saw the YouTube video where she is congratulating UF's football team for winning the national championship, and the woman is a COMPLETE EMBARRASSMENT! Her diction and articulation are pitiful. I simply don't know what to say. For those of you who have not seen the video, I urge you to do so. (The words -- at least as she pronounces them -- are included in the video.) Prepare to be embarrassed.) I cringed and covered my eyes the entire time.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know this ignorant "hellfer" was a FAMU alumnus.
ReplyDeletePLEASEEEEEEEEEEE don't vote for her.
She also holds a master's from UF !
ReplyDeleteI just need to know why she has on that bath robe?
ReplyDeleteThe woman is a hot ghetto mess! Absolutely unbelievable!
ReplyDeleteThe latest opinion polls suggest that Charlie Crist has a huge lead over Meek and presumably any other Democrat that may run.
ReplyDeleteAbout a year and a half out, opinion polls also showed Hillary Clinton with a huge lead over all her Democratic opponents, and with the Republican nominee beating all Democrats.
ReplyDeleteWell, we all know how that turned out !!!!
5:06. Funny how you call someone ignorant and then promptly misuse alumnus, when clearly you meant alumna. Pot......Kettle.
ReplyDeleteLet's do this again
ReplyDeletealumnus- male former student or graduate
alumna- female former student or graduate
alumnae- plural form of alumna
alumni- male plural and combined male and female plural
OK everybody go home and practice!
What's an embarassment is how quick crabs pounce on a person without any cause. The things mentoined previously mean nothing.
ReplyDeleteWhat's embarrassing, 5:50 PM, is how structurally and grammatically incorrect your post is. (Let us not even mention the spelling "typo.")
ReplyDeleteI HOPE SHE RUNS. THAT MEANS SHE WOULD HAVE TO GIVE UP HER SEAT IN CONGRESS. SHE WILL GET HER ASS KICKED IN THE SENATE RACE AND WE'LL BE RID OF HER FOR GOOD.
ReplyDeleteTHIS COULD BE A GOOD THING
