Charlie Crist's vote is for sale, and he's shopping it hard to the Democratic Party.
That's the upshot of overnight news reports that the independent Senate candidate keeps trying to push Democrat Kendrick Meek out of the race.

CNN announced during Wolf Blitzer's "Situation Room" Thursday night that former President Bill Clinton spoke to Kendrick Meek earlier in the day, suggesting to the Miami Democrat that he throw in the towel in the U.S. Senate race.
Blitzer said Clinton believes Meek is mired too far down in third place in the race. He said Clinton told Meek if he drops out, it will give independent Charlie Crist, in second place, a better chance to beat current front-runner Marco Rubio, the Republican.
Meek turned Clinton down, Blitzer said.
