Wallace and his car owners have had to be nuts to accept a endorsement from Kendrick Meek. He is about as anti NASCAR as he is anti-American. Wait until the real Senate race campaign gets rolling, Meek will look like a lost left-wing, pro “hate America” Jeremiah Wright buffoon nest to Rubio. Rubio will eat this fool’s lunch!!!!

Kendrick Meek is a socialist Hussein cultist in the most EXTREME sense!

Mike Wallace is a fool for letting this jerk sponsor him.

“We have a gentlemen with bipartisan viewpoints,” Wallace said, “and I’m not a political activist, I’m just a race car driver. It just happens that someone who’s running for a Senate seat realizes that racing is a great place to be. The NASCAR world is all-Americana as they say, and he wants to be involved.

“Whatever party line it’s on, we’re not treading that water. He’s got some good viewpoints, we’re proud he’s involved with us and (we wish him) good luck with the Senate seat he’s looking for right now. It’s just all fun right now.”

Good poll numbers. But never ever ever ever ever count out ANY RAT. The south Florida counties of Monroe, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach can create thousands of votes of felons, illegal immigrants, double residences, the dead, pets, etc. etc. etc.

Fraud? Democrats are the Masters.

Kendrick Meek Supports NASCAR, but Speedway Owners Back Charlie Crist

http://blogs.miaminewtimes.com/riptide/2010/02/kendrick_meek_supports_nascar.php

Well, Meek’s support of NASCAR sure hasn’t impressed the good ol’ dudes who own the Daytona and Homestead-Miami speedways, where the first and last races of the NASCAR season are held. They also couldn’t care less about Marco Rubio.

“There are a number of businesses that benefit from the presence of this race,” Meek, who calls himself a longtime NASCAR fan, told CNN in a trackside interview. “I want to be a part of it, and I want to be able to reach out to the NASCAR world and let them know that I’m a part of it.”

******

Meeks called the Regulator of Freddie and Fannie a racist because the regulator wanted congress to reign in the subprime lending of Freddie and Fannie and said that they were completely safe and that no additional regualations were needed

I don't particularly appreciate Mike Wallace's quotes, but his job is just to drive the car and without sponsorship he can't do that.

Johnny Davis is the owner of the car Wallace was driving:

Davis's teams are not exactly the best-funded in the Nationwide Series garage - apparently he'll take whatever $$$ he can get, regardless of the source.
