Meek promising ‘lights-out cage match’ in this morning’s CNN debate
by George Bennett | October 24th, 2010
TAMPA — Candidates usually try to lower expectations before a debate. Not Kendrick Meek. The Democratic U.S. Senate nominee, running third in polls, told Palm Beach County Democrats Saturday night to expect a “lights-out cage match” in this morning’s 9 a.m. debate on CNN.
Earlier Saturday, Meek was using football rather than wrestling as his choice of violent sports imagery. He told The Lakeland Ledger to expect a “verbally eventful” debate in which he goes after Republican frontrunner Marco Rubio like a linebacker going after a quarterback.

And have you been a gas station lately?
Alex Sink will continue to make sure that gas tax will go up, as she tries to put you on mass transit.
And with your tax money Alex made sure she diverted the State planes 144 to HER HOUSE.
Sink exploits and then demands that we, pay and cut back on our travel.

i am not entirely thrilled by crist’s track record as governor, and not totally sold on his reasons for going npa. but to take him at his word, more compromising moderates are needed in congress right now. meek speaks only the party line and rubio is too right radical scary.
the debate’s been over for 53 minutes now. why is the post not covering it? why is celine dion the top story?

History will prove Meek wrong:
HE IS INCAPABLE OF EVEN BE IN 2ND PLACE EVER, INSTEAD OF ALL THE PUFFS, THE DEFILE OF DEMOCRATIC STARS.

MEEK IS AN EGOTISTICAL LOOSER WHO INSISTS ON BRINGING DOWN FLORIDA BY HANDING THE US SENATE SEAT TO TEA PARTY CANDIDATE RUBIO.

The people are getting their heads back in the oxygen! They know who’s who and what’s what when they are paying attention! Meek has been breast fed by his mother! He’s a whining sucker who go into tantrums when he come in third behing lying CharLIE!
Sink will lose also! It will be closer that Rubio Crist because the unions are fighting hard for Obama to keep union friendly power in the governors office and the blood sucker leeches who could not hold jobs without union protections will certainly vote for survival! It like the people (voters and bill payers) against the leeches (those sucking the public teet!) The poeple will win and we will be forced to lay off some leeches who have been hanging on for way too long! Its called survival of the fitest!

does the phrase” Too Little;…Too Late.”..register ?, once again LEFT behind thinking & lack of actions resonate.

Meek is now burnt toast.

When this race started I was planning to vote Crist. But he’s become a liberal Democrat so by default I’m voting Rubio.

At least they are willing to debate.
Republican attorney general candidate for Pam Bondi is unwilling to even debate her opponent.
Watch http://www.pambondi.co (not a typo) to see her running away from office.
She is aweful,profitting off of the ignorance of the voters, she should not be respected nor should see receive your vote.
Vote for Dan Gelber for Attorney General, #40.
