Bill Clinton is in Florida today to stump for Democratic Senate candidate Kendrick Meek. From the St. Petersburg Times’ blog:

“On the scale of 1 to 10,” U.S. Senate candidate Kendrick Meek says of Bill Clinton’s visit to Florida on Monday, “this is an 11.” […]
“There’s nobody that can stimulate that African-American vote more than Bill Clinton,” said Darryl Paulson, a retired political scientist from the University of South Florida. “You would think a black president could do that but I think even the African-American community feels some disappointment with (President Barack) Obama.”

Meek’s campaign has been touting the visit for over a week, and has even used the former president as a raffle prize through an email campaign that reads: “Click here to make a contribution of $5 or more and be automatically entered to meet President Clinton and Kendrick. You’ll get your photo taken with them at a private reception before their August 16 rally. The primary is less than 18 days away, so contribute today!”
