11. Polling suggests this isn't true |
|
He'll probably steal more Dem votes than Republican.

7. How come this isn't being reported on the other channels? |
|
:wtf:
Looks like "My sources tell me" Tony Sanchez may have jumped the gun ahead of the official announcement scheduled for tomorrow.

9. He could be "our Lieberman." |
|
I hate to say it, but depending on how things shape up, it may be preferable for Meek to fade a bit.

10. If he manages to split the conservative vote, even a little, it will be reat news for Meek... |
|
Assuming that Democrats in Florida don't leave Meek to vote for Crist.

I certainly hope Meeks wins, but I'd take Crist over Rubio, as he is a far right loon...
When Katherine Harris ran in 2006, Bill Nelson beat her by 20% (or thereabouts), so hopefully FL. voters will reject the right-wing extremist again....

17. If it splits the conservative vote, it is good for Meek. If he manages to beat Rubio |
|
it is better then having that nutso in the Senate. Crist is not great. Better the a teabagger type though.

16. The right wing are not taking this very well. |
|
It is both funny and scary for his family to read some of their reactions. Let's put it this way of hewas a Presidential Candidate some of the right wingers would be getting a visit fro men in very nice tailored suits.

21. Hehe, I'm not sure he would have any other choice. |
|
The Republican party all ready didn't like Crist, now he is about as damaged with them as it gets.

I hope his statement is full of "I'm not leaving the GOP...the GOP has left me" rhetoric.
