Good point. Florida was meant to lead the way for the rest of the country with Jeb as their leader....notice he is getting more attention again. Also TX under George was showing the country the direction to go.

Meeks is a good man, but I almost forget he is running. He is not visible enough. And when he has a chance to take a stand for women's rights....he gets called out by the GOP for pandering to the right.

Anti-choice group gives Florida congressman a Phony Baloney award.

"Meek, who is running for Senate against Charlie Crist, sent a letter to Nancy Pelosi signed by 4 other Democrats saying that abortion should not be funded in the new health care reform. I guess he thought he was reaching out to them.

..."From the National Right to Life: In a letter earlier this week to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, which he co-signed, Meek claimed to seek "common ground" on abortion in the White House-backed healthcare "reform" proposals currently being considered. However, just last week, Meek voted in the House Ways and Means Committee against amendments to prevent the bill from mandating elective abortion coverage and to prevent federal subsidies for elective abortion. Since coming to Congress in 2003, Meek has voted against the pro-life position on the floor of the House 30 times. He has never cast a pro-life vote in Congress on an abortion-related issue, not even partial-birth abortion, parental notification, or fetal homicide.In awarding the "Phony-Baloney Citation," NRLC Federal Legislation Director Douglas Johnson said, "In light of his extreme pro-abortion voting record, Rep. Meek's call for 'common ground' reeks of brazen political posturing, and warrants this special citation."
