With Democratic Senate frontrunner Kendrick Meek coming to West Delray on Friday to campaign and solidify support with the party’s base, Palm Beach County Commissioner and alpha-Democrat Burt Aaronson is advising party voters to “keep their powder dry” in the primary.

Delray Beach Democratic operative Andre Fladell, the volleyball-playing chiropractor who’s sort of an unofficial buckle on the Palm Beach County condo belt, goes even further, saying he and some other Dems are willing to talk to Republican-turned-independent Gov. Charlie Crist about supporting his third-party bid for U.S. Senate.

Says Fladell: “We’ve expressed to Crist directly that the door is open for discussion, that our leadership is very undecided right now and we have no commitment to anyone.”

Asked who “we” are, Fladell said “a significant number of Democratic leaders.”

Fladell is close to Aaronson, but Aaronson said he has “no idea” which Democrats Fladell is talking about.

Aaronson said he’s “looking very carefully” in the Democratic primary at party establishment favorite Meek as well as former Miami Mayor Maurice Ferre and Palm Beach billionaire Jeff Greene.

it appears it's between Rubio and Crist with a month to go, not-so-quietly leak out that they're pulling for Crist and that'll give the green light to dems to vote for Crist to defeat hyper-right-winger Marco.

As for now, I want to back the dem, and the state party to do the same!

Is a bunch of divas and dinos. Karen Thurman is still angry that her little attempt to get attention (i.e. moving the primary) backfired on her so badly. The other fact is that a lot of effort is deservedly going towards Alex Sink, since the GOP opponent is actually to the right of Marco Rubio. The other ugly fact is that Florida is, sadly, home to a lot of people who think Obama stole Hillary's crown because he was Black, so Meek's goose is pretty much cooked.
