Wall Street Journal Article of Crist and Meek
This should please the Kendrick Meek campaign. The Wall Street Journal speculate that the White House is keeping Charlie Crist open as a possible option.
He might get his wish for a Presidential blessing. The White House isn't enthused about either candidate in the August 24 Democratic primary. An early supporter of Hillary Clinton, Congressman Kendrick Meek has slipped in the polls amid allegations that he steered federal contracts to a developer who hired his mother as a consultant; Mr. Meek denies this. His self-financed opponent, Jeff Greene, made a fortune betting against the subprime housing market and likes to hang in Hollywood with Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan.
Should Mr. Greene win the primary, the White House would stay clear and might tacitly back Mr. Crist. "I'm seeking the support of anybody willing to help me," Mr. Crist told the Florida Press Association last month. "Come September, October, I'll have two cannons aimed my way. If the President wants to help, that's fine."
I just thought of a great campaign slogan for the campaign campaign.
"Vote for Kendrick Meek. He sucks less than Jeff Greene."
