Kendrick Meek makes his case and Alex Sink's
Edited on Tue Oct-26-10 01:17 PM by angee_is_mad
Great article about Kendrick Meek and Alex Sink. Who the hell is advising Sink anyway? You DO NOT snub the NAACP with an audience of 1500 to go to 300 people rally! Sista you ain't the governor yet.
Anyway here is the link:
http://blog.reidreport.com/2010/10/kendrick-meek-makes-his-case-and-sinks-on-currys-radio-show/

"Miami Congressman Kendrick Meek called in to the Tuesday Talk radio show on WMBM, the station owned by Bishop Victor Curry, the NAACP Miami Dade president who last week blasted Alex Sink for skipping the organization’s pre-election political forum. But while Sink’s apology was expected to be the big event on the program, it was Meek who stole the show.

Meek called in after Sink, who declared herself “so sorry” she missed the forum, and who vowed to be at the NAACP Freedom Fund dinner this Saturday. Sink, whose campaign had previously said she and her running mate were at a pre-arranged event last Monday, when the forum took place at Curry’s New Birth Baptist Church, said during the show that she was detained by her CFO duties. Curry accepted Sink’s apology, and said he looked forward to seeing her at the dinner.

After that, Republican Lieutenant Gov. candidate Jennifer Carroll called in, reprising her widely praised solo appearance at the NAACP forum, and hammering Sink for being a fair-weather friend to Florida’s black-owned businesses and communities. “She’s had almost four years to bring on black staffers,” Carroll charged, disputing Sink’s assertion that she has hired African-Americans to serve in the CFO’s office. An aggressive Carroll promised to be “as one” with the black community if she and Scott are elected. And the candidate surprised Curry and his audience by putting Scott on the phone.

Scott briefly spoke with Curry, crowing that during the campaign’s bus tour, he’d just stopped for orange juice.

That comment became fodder for Meek, who when his turn came, blasted Scott for talking about “Obamacare” and slamming Sink’s newspaper endorsements as coming only because she’s an “Obama liberal,” but not using that same incendiary language on the radio station, most of whose listeners are black."
