Kendrick Meek Death Watch: Another Endorsement For Crist

The Florida Pipe Trades has endorsed Charlie Crist over Kendrick Meek.

"This is a bit unusual,'' said the union's international representative, John Lindstrom. "We stepped out on this one because we thought it was that important...We have probably 30-35 percent unemployment in our ranks, and we think Gov. Crist has a better handle on it and can feel our pain more than anyone else.''

Democratic endorsements and money are going Crist's and Jeff Greene's way. The Florida Democratic establishment will lament on how can people not understand Kendrick Meek is the 50s New York Yankees, 70s Pittsburgh Steelers and 80s Edmonton Oilers all rolled into one. Why if Meek ran in a Democratic primary against JFK --- Meek would have Kennedy begging for mercy. Meek is a shining superstar and his campaign will get hot any day now. The only problem is no one says when that magical day will appear. Will there be rainbows and unicorns?

How long is the Democratic establishment gonna sell this bullshit spin? Bill Clinton made a horrible mistake endorsing Meek. The establishment owes potential candidates who were forced out of the Senate race an apology. Florida Democrats will keep losing races if they run candidates like Kendrick Meek.

The Florida Pipe Trades did not endorse Meek because the union knows Meek will not be a United States Senator. The Meek campaign is sinking and special interest groups will give their money and endorsements to the candidate that have the best chance. Crist is the most popular politician in Florida. Greene can outspend any Senate candidate. Meek has no charisma or public speaking skills. So how exactly is Meek gonna become an overnight political sensation is a mystery.
