Where is the Love?

Not in the Florida governor race. Adam Smith reports for the St. Petersburg Times the hatred between Jeff Greene and Kendrick Meek that was apparent at the Sunday debate.

Greene said, "He's a career politician, involved in some corruption scandals, taking special interest money. … I'm an outsider. My whole life I've been in the business world, I've created jobs. … I'm not going to take a penny of special interest money."

Meek responded: "It's ridiculous that someone would even question my ethics when he has so many issues himself."

They continued: "I'm ahead in the polls," Greene noted. "So who is he going to support? Charlie Crist or Marco Rubio?"

"I'm not going to support Charlie Crist or Marco Rubio, because I'm going to be the nominee, Jeff,'' snapped Meek, noting that Greene ran for Congress as a Republican in 1982 and recently claimed not to remember whether he'd voted for Ronald Reagan or Jimmy Carter for president.

The two candidates sound like high school kids running for student council. The debate will be televised tonight.
