Kendrick Meek Team Calls Charlie Crist Hypocritical for Attacking Sarah Palin

With U.S. Senate candidate Gov. Charlie Crist, who is running without party affiliation, attacking Republican front-runner Marco Rubio for being backed by Sarah Palin in a new television ad, Democratic nominee U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek is attacking Crist for once having supported Palin.

"This is beyond the pale. Governor Crist has moved from politically convenient flip-flopping to outright deception," said Abe Dyk, Meek's campaign manager. "These are the facts.

"Fact: Charlie Crist was an outspoken supporter of Palin's vice presidential campaign, continued Dyk. "Fact: Crist said Palin would do a great job as president. Fact: The only thing that Crist says one day that you can believe the next is that he wants to be elected.

"More than anything else, Crist's ad shows that he simply won't stand up for anyone other than himself," said Dyk in conclusion.
