PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — Former President Bill Clinton on Friday denied reports — confirmed by his spokesman a day earlier — that he asked Democrat Kendrick Meek to drop out of the three-way Florida Senate race to clear the way for independent Gov. Charlie Crist.
Meek says he is not dropping out, and even if he did, it would likely be too late to make a difference: Nearly 2 million people have already voted, and his name would still be on the ballot Tuesday.
Several prominent black Democrats said they think the fuss is backfiring on Crist and energizing black voters to go to the polls to support Meek, who is black. Both men trail Tea Party-backed Republican Marco Rubio.
