With $3.7M in cash on hand, Congressman Kendrick Meek is ready for what many political experts predict will become a three-way contest for Florida’s junior U.S. Senate seat.Gov. Charlie Crist, who is trailing behind former House Speaker Marco Rubio in the race for the Republican nomination, is expected to enter the general election as a candidate with no party affiliation. A recent Daily Kos poll showed Rubio leading Crist 58 percent to 30.
“[If] [t]he governor makes a decision that he's going to run as an independent, automatically, I become a factor in this race," Meek said in an interview with CNN’s John King. "There will no longer be debates with just the two of them. I would be invited as another major candidate in the race. So to say that it will just be a two way battle, that it will continue, it will turn into a three way battle.”
In a three-way general election race, Rubio leads with 32 percent with Crist netting 29 and Meek receiving 27.
If the match-up were just between Rubio and Meek, the former House Speaker would get 41 percent to Meek’s 40.
We need Ken Meek in the U.S. Senate !!!
ReplyDeleteGo get 'em MEEK!
ReplyDeleteKendrick Might actually have a shot now.
ReplyDeleteBTW, what does he stand for?
Lord knows what Kendrick stands for. If he wants to be considered seriously he better quit riding his mother's coat tails, stand on his own two feet and start telling folks what his record is and what he's for. Taking pictures with President Obama and showing them in Ebony and Jet won't get you elected.
ReplyDeleteThis is why I hope Crist goes indy. He will surely split the GOP vote.
ReplyDeleteThose who don't know what Meek stands for need to learn how to use Google in order to find his campaign website.

Please family, stop listening too and relying on sound bites to learn about persons seeking an elected position.
ReplyDeleteAs a previous poster noted, it is very easy to Google Kendrick Meek and start to learn about what he's already done and his platform as a senatorial candidate.
