Democrat Moore Backs Independent Crist for Senate

Former Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Brian Moore today issued the following statement regarding the ongoing race for U.S. Senate in Florida:

“Former President Clinton has made it clear that Kendrick Meek cannot and will not win this race. It is time for the Congressman to step aside for the good of our state and our nation. Too much is at stake in this election.”

“Ask yourself why the Republican Party of Florida seems to want nothing more than to see Kendrick Meek stay in this race until the last votes are cast,” said Moore. “Today I want to urge my fellow Democrats to wake up and realize that the only hope we have of stopping Tea Party extremist Marco Rubio is to vote for Charlie Crist.”

Moore, 67, is a former health care executive who waged an uphill battle against Alex Sink in the August Democratic primary for governor. He captured more than 200,000 votes and his strongest showing came in Northern Florida where he nearly won several counties.
