Kendrick Meek, You’ve Got Mail: Crist Voicemail Asking Meek to Bow Out Surfaces

This is interesting. So now we know Clinton never really asked Meek to drop out of the race, but Crist did – multiple times – and probably added in the Clinton bit to give the plea a little more weight. Listen to the ausio below. Where Crist asks Meek to meet sometime so he can ask the Democrat to bow out of the race.

From The Hill:

A voicemail from Gov. Charlie Crist to Democratic Senate candidate Kendrick Meek from earlier this week emerged on Saturday, suggesting Crist asked Meek to withdraw from the three-way race.

The existence of the voicemail comes a day after questions arose about whether former President Bill Clinton pressured Meek to give up his bid and back Crist.

Meek says Clinton discussed the topic but didn’t press him to exit the race. Instead, Meek has said it was Crist who asked him to withdraw.
