(Hope you enjoy this as much as I did!)
Rep. Kendrick Meek (D-Fla.) on Wednesday abruptly withdrew his support
from a controversial trade bill and legislation to create a single-
payer health insurance system.
The decision to remove himself as co-sponsor of the two bills suggests
that Meek is moving to the political center. Meek is the clear front-
runner for the Democratic nomination for former Sen. Mel Martinez’s (R-
Fla.) old seat after Rep. Corrine Brown announced she would not
challenge Meek for the Democratic nomination.
Meek also dropped his sponsorship from Rep. John Conyers Jr.’s (D-
Mich.) bill to create a single-payer health insurance system. That
legislation has 87 co-sponsors.
