As Florida Democratic Senate candidates Rep. Kendrick Meek and billionaire businessman Jeff Greene slugged it out in their only statewide televised debate last night, key Democrats prepared for a fundraiser tonight in Washington that will benefit former Florida Republican governor, now independent senatorial candidate, Charlie Crist.
“„“I was brought up as a kid that if you have nothing good to say you say nothing at all,” billionaire Palm Beach real estate mogul Greene said, wasting no time in calling Meek a failed, career politician and part of the “culture of corruption.”
“„Rep. Meek in turn called Greene “a bad man,” who mistreats employees, has little track record as a Democrat or Floridian and plenty of shady business dealings: “I have more integrity in my pinky than you have in your whole body.”
The fundraiser, meanwhile, is being hostedby Democratic pollster and former Hillary Clinton senior adviser Mark Penn — and it’s just the latest sign that many Washington Democrats are abandoning both Democratic candidates in favor of Crist. It’s also another slap in the faceto Meek:
“„Ironic that Kendrick Meek worked his tail off for John Kerry — whose media consultant Tad Devine is now helping Jeff Greene — and Clinton, whose top consultant is helping Crist.
