Tea Rubio is at 50%. Crist has 25%. Crist will lose. Say good bye to Crist. Too bad it took a teabagger to make him go away, but it's the price we pay.
So, Tea Rubio will win. All a vote for Crist will do is make Meek look like he has no support. Meek is an up and coming Liberal. He may not win this election, but watch out when the next one comes along.
So there is no choice but to vote for Meek and show that you support the Liberal wing of the Democratic party.

I wish the party in Florida would get behind it's great candidate, Meek.
But they are not. There must be a lot of DINOS down there?

2. Really is sad that a D Bagger...oops, I mean Tea Bagger is going to take this. |
|
At first I was hoping Crist would take more of the R votes, but he's going to take more of the moderate D votes.

3. And Meek needs to stay in a keep campaigning for GOTV. |
|
His candidacy helps Grayson and Sink.

Meek is a strong candidate.
Crist is just a spoiler. He already lost his party's primary. If he had any balls he'd drop out.
The only thing we can do at this point is support the only liberal candidate. This idea that we should show any support for the loser conservative Crist is just a bad idea.

We don't serve flip-flopping tuna to anybody. And your the flip-floppingist tuna ever.

7. I think we would have a change at gaining an independant vote that we could use if Meek was not in |

the race-but for some purity trumps pragmatism.

9. Crist is NOT going to win |
|
Crist is not an independent. He's a flip-flopping politician. He needs to be history, and he will be after this election.
Meek is our man, he's a true liberal. He has earned our vote. He deserves it completely.
I'll say it again: Rubio is going to win. The media has made it so.
So all we can do is show support for the only liberal in the race.
Imagine when Meek beats Crist? Who would have thunk it? Little ol' Kendrick Meek beating Crist - the top politician in the state. It will be great news for Democrats and liberals everywhere.

11. Actually there's a pragmatic argument for Meek staying in the race |
|
Namely that it will boost black turnout and help Sink and Grayson. You could make the argument that Crist will help boost anti tea-bagger turnout as well. http://thehill.com/opinion/columnists/markos-moulitas/123935-dems-gambit-in-floridaA victory by Alex Sink would be a huge plus, arguably more valuable to the Dems than capturing that Senate seat.

8. Crist ain't gonna win. |
|
So, would one rather go down in flames voting for the d-bag flip-flopper or for the real democratic candidate?
I have to look honestly into the eyes of my family, so it's not a difficult decision for me to make.
