Message from Kendrick Meek (FL - DEMOCRAT)
Just leaving the Fox 13 debate in Tampa and guess what? Marco Rubio and Charlie Crist didn't say a single thing about how they were going to help the hardworking people of this state.

I am the only candidate who will stand up for you, but I need you to take a stand with me.

With Election Day just 18 days away, I'm talking to my campaign team each day about our GOTV plan and budget. They tell me if we can raise $35,000 by midnight October 18 we will be able to expand our current operation into 10 more counties. We can't let any of our target counties go untouched and have less than three weeks. We need your help.

What you do right now impacts how many voters we can get to turn out on Election Day.

As always, thanks.

- Kendrick

1. It's against the rules but...
Charlie Crist's office intervened for me and my family back in 2008 on a very important issue that we were getting no help from the State of Florida with.

Corrine Brown (D), Bill Nelson (D) never did shit except send a robo-replies.

One phone call to Charlie Crist's office saved us from very serious financial and legal problems. I never voted for the guy and I'm not a registered republican but that didn't matter to him or his office.

Those other two sacks of shit in Washington still haven't contacted me for over two years.

4. I Did A Similar Post Last Summer
I needed to get my drivers license and there were lines blocks long. I called his office and was put in touch with a field officer who set up an appointment for me.

6. I Like The Quote In Your Profile. Here's What His Nephew Said About The Race
Kennedy’s message to Democrats who back Kendrick Meek was pointed.

"I think it's clear he cannot win this election,” he said. “I think the polling data is clear, if I thought he could win this election I would be down here campaigning for him because I think he is a great man.”

Kennedy stood next to Crist at a deli in Deerfield Beach and preached his independent message to dozens of people. Asked if Meek should drop out of the race, Crist said "that's up to him, as I said earlier I'm trying to reach out to common sense Republicans, common sense Democrats and common sense Independents."

.....

Kennedy pulled no punches when talking about Tea Party favorite Rubio.

“I was looking at the statements by Rubio and realizing what a crackpot he was, and to have a person like that in the United States Senate would be just disastrous,” said Kennedy.

A Rubio spokesman called Kennedy's negative 'crackpot' line another flip-flop by the Crist camp, which promised to run a positive campaign.

Diners grew emotional as Kennedy spoke of his father's 1968 assassination and the train ride he took as a 14-year-old to accompany the body -- a story that resonated in an area full of retirees and party faithful.
Bob Weiner, a 40-year-old small business owner eating at the deli, said he will likely vote for Crist now. Kennedy "is one of the few politicians I actually trust," he said. "The fact that a Democrat was willing to cross a line, it's impressive."

8. That reminds me of when Jeb Bush was endorsing Bill Nelson....
...instead of Katherine Harris who was running against him.
