Kendrick Meek Cake-Walks Through MSNBC Interview

Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Kendrick Meek described himself to an MSNBC "Morning Joe" audience Tuesday morning as a true David against two Goliaths. Apart from highlighting the differences between himself and his opponents, Republican opponent Marco Rubio and independent Gov. Charlie Crist, he re-established his I'm-a-nice-guy credentials by repeating sympathy for Rubio, whose father died during the weekend. There were no hardball questions. After the show aired his latest upbeat ad, Meek called attention to Crist's flip-flops and to Rubio's right-of-center positions, then said he could pick up 40 percent of the vote and win in Florida because his grass-roots campaign is "kicking in" now. At the moment Meek trails his opponents by double-digit percentage points.

Meek said if the president came to town he wouldn't disown him as Democrats in other states have done. "The next senator from the state of Florida needs to establish a good relationship with the president," he said.
