Clinton to Candiotti: Didn't ask Meek to drop out, but "we talked about a lot of things and I told him whatever he did was his decision"

Clinton later tells Candiotti he and Meek did discuss state of the race; he told Meek he should just do "what was best for Florida"

7. More info from Marc Ambinder....

Worst kept secret in Florida politics is that WH tried to get Clinton to nudge Meek aside a while ago. Clinton told the WH to shove off then

This time, Clinton ran it by the WH, which didn't object. But they didn't want to press Meek too hard -- Obama likes the guy. So does WJC
