Ben Smith is reporting that on two separate occasions in recent days Bill Clinton had almost convinced Democrat Kendrick Meek to drop out of the Florida Senate race and endorse independent Charlie Crist. The Crist camp says that's true. The Meek camp is vehemently denying the report that on both occasions Meek initially agreed to the Clinton-brokered deal then backed out.
Late Update: The Kendrick Meek campaign just announced that Meek will hold a press conference at 9:30 p.m. ET outside his Miami Gardens office. Stay tuned ...
It doesn't necessarily mean that Meek is dropping out. He could be announcing his determination to stay in the race.
Still, I wish my Brothah' would do us all a favor, and get on out. He's not going to close and win this thing, and Marco Rubio in the Senate doesn't help anybody...except Corporations.
