Welcome to

Democratic U.S. Senate Hopeful Jeff Greene made stops in Orlando Jacksonville and Tallahassee today, traveling by private jet. As Mike Vasilinda tells us, the race between Greene and Congressman Kendrick Meek has tightened over the last week, even though Greene has spent millions of his own cash.

Greene arrived in a limo, fresh off his private jet, 40 minutes late. He told reporters he would cut the cost of drugs in half by bringing Canadian prices to the United States. He blames the status quo and special interest cash for keeping drug prices high.

“In the last election cycle, Congress got 10 million dollars from drug companies,” Greene said. “I’m not taking any special interest money in this race. Not during the campaign. Not after I’m elected. Never.”

Greene was asked about drunken-fueled parties on his 145- foot yacht. The candidate acknowledged throwing parties prior to getting married four years ago. But he blames two disgruntled employees for untruths.

“They’re trying to associate time when I’ve been on my boat when I’ve had some different kinds of colorful guests,” Greene said. “They’re trying to associate me with that. But, look, I’m a 55-year-old man. I’m not a partier.”

Polls show Democratic opponent Kendrick Meek with a slight lead after weeks of trailing Greene. The billionaire says the race has always been tight.

“It’s going great as far as we’re concerned,” he said. “Our message is resonating great with voters. It’s been a tight race for awhile. Look, I was at 2 percent. Then I was at 4 percent. Then I was at 12 percent. Now we’ve been pretty close to even. But I think we’re a little bit ahead. Different polls show different things, but I think it just shows we’re close.”

Roughly a third of Democratic voters remain undecided in the heated race.
