http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/08/17/1779479/bill-clinton-leads-south-florida.htmlFor financially strapped Senate candidate Kendrick Meek, the cavalry arrived Monday in the form of Bill Clinton, who rallied the Democratic troops Monday at three back-to-back rallies in South Florida.
The popular former president's appearances offered a shot of free publicity for Meek, a Miami congressman who's been outspent more than 5-1 on television by Palm Beach millionaire Jeff Greene.
``Look, I love Kendrick Meek,'' Clinton told roughly 1,000 people at a Delray Beach recreation center. ``I'd be here for him if I was the only vote he had in the entire country. I also believe with all my heart he should be the next U.S. senator from Florida.''
In the crucial run-up to the Aug. 24 primary, Meek will campaign with former Sen. Bob Graham in Miami Lakes on Tuesday and join President Barack Obama at a party fundraiser Wednesday in Miami Beach.
