Democrat Kendrick Meek said Monday he is "absolutely not" in negotiations with independent Charlie Crist to drop out of the three-way Florida Senate race, insisting he is "running for first."
Nice talk, Kendrick, but you are in third place and really have little chance of winning this election. The Senate needs more independents in it if we cannot elect a Democrat.
Meek has been denying reports, originating from a Wall Street Journal story last week, that he is considering dropping out of the race in order to keep Republican favorite Marco Rubio from becoming Florida's next senator.
When pushed as to whether it was more important to keep Rubio, the conservative candidate, out of the Senate, Meek dodged the question.

President Obama recently cut a radio ad for Meek prior to his trip to the state for a pair of fundraisers.
In it, the president says he "strongly supports" Meek:
Kendrick's been a powerful voice for Floridians: standing up to special interests, to hold Wall Street accountable, fighting the insurance industry to make sure health care isn't denied to our children because of a preexisting condition, working to eliminate subsidies to banks so young people can afford a college education, and Kendrick strongly opposes extending tax breaks for the wealthy and has worked tirelessly to expand the middle class and support small businesses. So please join me in supporting Kendrick Meek for Senate.
