My colleague Luke Johnson got some reaction from the Sierra Club on Kendrick Meek’s rejectionof the environmental group’s endorsement. Meek rejected the endorsement because the Sierra Club also endorsed his opponent for the Senate seat, Gov. Charlie Crist, who is running as an independent.
“„Jackalone, when reached by phone Thursday afternoon, said, “‘We think that Rep. Meek and Gov. Crist would both make excellent senators.”
“„When asked whether the endorsement was an “insult” to Florida’s environmental community, he said, “It’s not at all. It’s not. It’s recognizing the strengths in both candidates. We’re surprised. I’m not surprised that Meek wants to win the election so he’s trying to differentiate himself.”
“„He added, “It seems like he [Meek] was disappointed and I’m surprised.”
“„This isn’t the first co-endorsement in the race. The Florida Education Association, the largest teacher’s union in the state, also co-endorsedboth Meek and Crist in May.
