Another Politician Takes a Bus Tour: This Time it's Kendrick Meek

Taking a page from Bill Clinton in 1992, John McCain in 2000 and Rick Scott back ... last week, U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek, running in a close battle with Jeff Greene for the Democratic nomination in the U.S. Senate race, announced on Wednesday he will be launching a bus tour across the Sunshine State. The Real Dem Express will be coming Aug. 4 to Orlando then hitting cities across the state the following 10 days.

"This week we took our campaign on the air, and next week we are taking it on the road by kicking off the Real Dem Express tour across Florida, said Meek. This campaign has always been about fighting for middle-class families. By traveling up and down this state for months and completing our historic petition drive, we have built a top-notch grass-roots campaign.

Meek, who launched his first television ad earlier in the week attacking Greene, clearly intends to continue the assault.

The Real Dem Express tour will send a clear message -- there is just one Democrat in this race and only one candidate who will fight for middle-class Florida families," said Meek, continuing to pound Greene for having run for Congress in California as a Republican.
