Kendrick Meek Wins Democratic Senate Nod in Florida, But Faces Uphill Fight

Meeks isn't going anywhere in the next election. I was thrilled that Rick Scott-R, who has never run for office before beat Bill McCollum-R who was the incumbent. Mr. McCollum was so classless with his appearance afterward and refused to congratulate Mr. Scott. It was shameless. I pray that this is just the beginning of booting out the old and bringing in some new candidates that will not spit in the eye of the small people. Thanks Florida.

luialva10:45 PM Aug 24, 2010= The tea party radical extremist leaders who like Marco Rubio are mostly self serving hypocrites and have no ideas ,no solutions and a disaster for this state. Spewing out hate and bible thumping jargon isn't what I call a solution to any problems. Rubio will win Miami because most here are ethnic voters incapable of even considering a non Cuban over a Cuban (I am Cuban). I hope the rest of the state is smarter and atleast looks up how self serving and full of it Rubio is. He gave his wife a "job" that we paid for and has looooooooong history of using money which is not his to live a nice life while others foolish enough to vote for him "can eat cake". He is a TYPICAL Miami politico with a golden tongue who can preach it but he never walked it.. Miami banana republic standards shold not be rewarded with higher office. ****************************************** Most people stopped listening when you said. "I an Cuban". We are Americans...and couldn't care less about Cubans involved in our politics..

I wonder how many people who have posted tonight are from FL. I am and am so sad that Bill McCollom did not win the primlinary for Governor. Rick Scott cheated and stole soooo much money for Medicare and was infestigated for Medicare fraud, he spent over $20 million dollars in ugly, ugly adds, when he could have given some of that money to the poor where Bill did not spend anywhere's near that kind of money. I can't stand Alex Cink either and both Scott and Cink are crooks and God help the state of Florida. At least Lawton Chiles and Jeb Bush, the only Bush did great things for this state. Again God help this state and I sure as hell hope Rubio wins for the senate race as he is at least more honest and has better ideas for our country than Meek. Sorry Bill, voted for you wish you would have won, Scott is a real sleeze and a criminal.

revblueroof10:57 PM Aug 24, 2010 In case you want to be correct in your post, the seat is now a republican seat. It will be one of several democartic pick ups in November, enlarging their margin of control in the senate. Fla. KY, and several other states will be moving into the majority on Nov. 2.****************** The only thing Democrats will be picking up is pink slips.

Crist needs to go away! I contacted Crist's office during the spill in the gulf and offered assistance by way of specially designed equipment. His secretary gave me his email address and said that was the only way to contact him. I emailed his office with the same offer and received a computer response email telling me what his office was doing in the gulf and provided links to BP's website. No personal response to a credible offer! Pitiful!!! Crist could give a rat's you know what about anyone except himself. He's basically throwing a temper tantrum like a two year old because he didn't get the nod from the GOP! Well, if did give a damm about the GOP, he would be a team player and bow out, instead of being a spoiler for the Democrats!

None of the candidates, Democratic or Republicans, has said how they are going to solve the foreclosure problems in the nation, but especially in Florida. Greene and the Wall Street vultures, which he seems to be one, will want to continue business as usual. I hope the entire financial system crashes sooner, rather than later, as I do not believe any politican has the desire or power to stop this run-away-freight train. The sooner it crashes, the better off we will all be as our assets will not be totally depleted and devastation will not be so great. The banks, investors, and Wall Street vultures, will never do anything that will benefit the middle and poor people. Only GOD can help us.

Kendrick Meek will attract much of the votes that Christ would need to defeat Rubio. Crist will split the Republican vote but will split the Democrat vote also. Too bad there isn't a primary for the independents. Losers should not be able to run in the general election.

"Florida"...beautiful "Florida"...i-f you l-o-v-e it as much as "WE DO"...you will h-a-p-p-i-l-y give this seat to "Marco Rubio"!!! "Crist" is a "Sore Loser" that cannot "serve FLORIDA" as it s-h-o-u-l-d be...NEITHER does "Meek" have "what it takes" to "DO WHAT H-A-S TO BE DONE" to bring greater prosperity to your "BEAUTIFUL" FLORIDA!!!

The main reason Crist is in the race is to pull votes from Rubio and keep the Democrat seat away from the Republicans. Christ has no chance and instead of dropping out like a gentleman he shows where he stands.

Since Scott is out as a candidate for Governor I prefer Crist to Rubio and hope we get Crist for another term. Regarding Scott : my reason for voting for him was that he was the only candidate who spoke against the building of the Islam Mosque near Ground Zero. This is an important isssue and few of the politicians of either party are speaking out against it.
