Welcome to

While Charlie Crist and Marco Rubio duke it out, the Democratic front runner for US Senate, Kendrick Meek, has been quietly gaining support.

Meek sat down with reporters in the capital press corps this morning. He says hard work has helped him overcome adversity throughout his life and now he plans to take that message to voters. Meek says he has not plans of conceding the heavily Republican Panhandle and even took a few shots at Governor Charlie Crist.

“There’s more to leadership than releasing sea turtles and showing up in front of fire stations on 9/11 and saying we love firefighters. We all love firefighters. We all appreciate sea turtles. I think the record will speak for itself and my message to Florida is that I’m going to work every day,” said Meek.

In an effort to prove his work ethic Meek is qualifying for the ballot the old fashioned way. Instead of buying his way onto the ballot, Meek is gathering signatures. He has to get 112-thousand.
