1. Meek wins Florida Democratic Senate primary

<snip>

"Rep. Kendrick Meek is the Democratic nominee for Senate, overcoming billionaire Jeff Greene's massive television and mail onslaught to win a bitter primary.

If he wins again in November, Meek will be Florida's first black senator.

Meek was outspent by an estimated 5-to-1 ratio and at one point fell behind in the polls after Greene entered the race on the last possible day and began flooding the state with television ads.

The race was often nasty, with Greene calling Meek corrupt and Meek saying Greene bet against Floridians when he made investments that earned him hundreds of millions of dollars when the housing market collapsed.

Meek will now face Republican Marco Rubio and independent Gov. Charlie Crist in the general election."

3. This state is fucked.

Hell, this country is fucked.

Sorry for my cynicism fellow DUers...:banghead:

2. All DUers should support Meek for Senate.

He is the Democrat in the election. Those who support Crist support a Republican who only changed parties for convenience. We have a few of those already in the Senate. We need no more.

4. I voted for him.

But the politics here, as elsewhere, are wearing me down to where I just want to go live off the grid far far away from this insanity.
