1. Crist may or may not caucus with the Dems. What matters more is keeping Rubio out.
Meek is not polling that well. Moderate former repub or teabagger type. Pick your poison. Crist seems less worse then my current Senator, Lieberman. Say what you will about that.

3. "Pick your poison" is right. Crist is miles better than Rubio.

4. Really? The RWers HATE the guy. He has become more liberal than some of
the Dem. senators. I welcome his win over Rubio, although I welcome Meek over both of 'em.

5. Actually it's much more likely he will caucus with the Dems than GOP
first, what looked like a certain win for Rubio is not any longer the case thanks to Crist.
second, Crist has been doing a lot of things lately that piss off the RW.
third, if he wins it will be due to independent and democratic votes rather than republican.

Finally, yes, we should give Meek a chance, but if he still is running third in October I think many Dems will vote for Crist over Rubio as the much better choice of those who have a chance of winning.

6. You'd be correct if Meek had a snowball's chance in hell of winning, but he doesn't.
So with that in mind, supporting Crist to STOP THE TEABAGGER!! is the right move.
