With 45 days to the deadline to turn in 112,000 signatures, Kendrick Meek’s Campaign still struggling to collect required number of petitions

in Peter/Statewide by

During the last month, I’ve written extensively about how Kendrick Meek’s sisyphean signature-gathering effort is further behind than the campaign wants to admit. With 45 days left before the March 29 deadline to turn in 112,476 verified signatures, it’s time to update again the status of Meek’s signature-gathering effort.

Kendrick Meek’s signature-gathering effort is exactly where I projected it to be — further behind than where campaign says

in Peter/Statewide by

Last week, I wrote a post “Is Kendrick Meek’s sisyphean signature-gathering effort further behind than campaign wants to admit?” in which, after a real-time sampling of the ten Supervisor of Elections’ offices which have, to date, processed more than 85% of Meek’s verified signatures, I warned that Kendrick Meek’s effort to qualify for the ballot by petition is dangerously behind where his campaign says it is. In a conference call three weeks ago with a pool of new media writers…

This led me to further wonder if Steve has any second thoughts about Senator Dan Gelber’s decision to cede the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate seat to Congressman Kendrick Meek. At the time when Gelber withdrew from the Senate race to run for Attorney General,…
