It's Meek, not Meeks, that's another guy. Just fyi.

Ah, thanks bb. Kind of proves my point though that no one knows who this guy is unless you're in his district.

Good point, but it wasn't my title. It's the title on the original source I linked to.

I agree.....personally, I think Crist has the best shot.

I plan to vote for Kendrick Meek because he has a lot of great ideas and I can't stand Charlie Crist. I think, if Crist switches, it's Meek's race to lose. I think he can win, it'll just be a lot of work.

Also, he was in the State Senate (and House) but he's been in the (national) House of Representatives since 2003.

it is conceivable that he could eek out a victory in the end.

Argh, this annoys me. It's "eke", not "eek". I know this requires more than spell-check, but lord, those who write for a living should know better.

it's right up there with due/do, per se/per say (hate that), populace/populous and conscious/conscience for me

eyetosky April 21 2010, 18:32:07 UTC

And "rein it in"/"reign it in". MAN, etymology, how would "reign" make sense, people??

of/have may be the worst offence

Unless things change and it looks like Meek might have a chance of winning the election, I'll be voting for Crist.

No offense meant here but I do understand this attitude. If people all have that attitude the election is decided by the media. My mom is a Republican and said to be during the primaries "I want to vote for McCain but he's going to do awful so I don't want to waste me vote." It's not a waste, in my opinion at least.
