I am waiting for the other shoe to drop tomorrow re: Clinton's outreach to Meek
I am waiting for Crist to announce he will caucus with the Dems if elected,


And then tomorrow afternoon Meek announces that he is throwing his support behind Crist.

1. Me too...
I am thinking this might be what is coming.

I really do think it would be for the best. Rubio is very dangerous. If he wins this seat it will be his path to a run for the Presidency. He needs to be stopped before he becomes an even bigger threat.

2. Too late
Too much early voting. It's over if there is no surprise on Tuesday.

4. Here's the thing...early voting has been going on so what happens if a candidate drops out at the
last minute? It would be hugely unfair to voters who have aready voted to change the game at this late date. This is why I just don't see it happening.

As far as Crist announcing he'll caucus with Dems - I'll believe it when i see it. If Charlie Crist told me the sky is blue I would open the window and check for myself.

5. Well there is no way in hell he could caucus with the GOP after they called him a traitor
And bluntly you have to caucus on what side of the aisle or the other. He really has no choices imho. he mught as well say it.

7. It's probably too late, but a natural migration to Crist appears to be happening anyway.

Meek is down to 15% and Crist is up to 35%, just 4 pts from Wannabe Senator Teabagger.

8. If those numbers are accurate
That leaves 11% undecided I have to think those who have not made up their mind are trying to decided between Crist and Meek Rubio number are not going to move up much
This could be more in play then we think.

11. No kidding.
This race has been the E ticket ride of this election. And the ride is still in motion.

9. Rubio will be still winning
If Rick Scott can get 46+%, there is no way Rubio would nab less. Then, there will be at least 5-10% votes still go to Meek no matter what. There is no way Crist is going to overcome that.

BTW, if Meeks drops out, few AAs would come out on Nov 2(it will be rainning here in Florida). Sink could lose withou huge AA turnout.

10. Whistling past the graveyard, are we
:rofl:

Rubio's as vulnerable as can be, and Bill Clinton doesn't come up with loser ideas, as I'm sure you're well aware.
