The Florida Senate Election between Charlie Crist, Kendrick Meek and Marco Rubio has recently turned into a giant soap opera.

There is word today, that former President Bill Clinton has contacted Democrat Kendrick Meek, to try and see if he would be willing to drop out of the Florida Senate race. Meek says that this is not true, although Clinton did contact him.

“[Bill Clinton] didn’t ask me to drop out of the race,” Meek said to Fox.

Meek is also now accusing Charlie Crist of calling him and trying to get him to drop out of the senate race.

“I told him I’m not getting out of the race. I don’t sell out on the people of Florida,” explained Kendrick Meek.

Whether or not any of this is true, is still up for debate. When Charlie Crist was asked about the story, he said, “I wasn’t trying to get a deal done (get Meek to drop out).”

One can definitely see why Crist would want Meek to drop out of the race though. Meek is a Democrat, while Crist is running as an independent. However, Crist’s main following are democrats.

According to the latest Quinnipiac University Polls, Crist appears to have the support of 19% of Republicans, 51% of Democrats and 43% of independents. At the same time, Marco Rubio only is carrying 6% of Democrats. If Meek were to drop out of the senate race, Crist would most likely receive the 36 percent following that Meek currently has from the Democrats. If this were to happen, Crist would win the election hands down.

However, this isn’t the case. Meek plans on staying in the race. Crist is trailing Marco Rubio 42% to 35%, and that won’t win him the Senate seat.

Can Crist make up the ground prior to the November 2 election, without a Meek dropout? We shall wait and see.
