Arguing Meek Needs to Withdraw, Brian Moore is for Charlie Crist

Brian Moore, who ran against Alex Sink in the Democratic gubernatorial primary taking more than 20 percent of the vote, said Bill Clinton had the right idea in trying to get Democratic nominee U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek to drop out of the U.S. Senate race to back Gov. Charlie Crist, who is running without party affiliation.

"Former President Clinton has made it clear that Kendrick Meek cannot and will not win this race, said Moore on Friday. It is time for the congressman to step aside for the good of our state and our nation.Too much is at stake in this election.

"Ask yourself why the Republican Party of Florida seems to want nothing more than to see Kendrick Meek stay in this race until the last votes are cast," added Moore, who was the Socialist Partys presidential candidate in 2008. "Today I want to urge my fellow Democrats to wake up and realize that the only hope we have of stopping tea party extremist Marco Rubio is to vote for Charlie Crist."
