"I have not endorsed Senator Clinton for President. Therefore the Hillary for President Campaign is not authorized to use my name, image, or this incorrect news report in any of your campaign literature or promotional material.'' -Rep. Kendrick Meek, http://www.miamiherald.com/416/story/133763.html
This was written in a letter sent to the Clinton campaign after they had announced that they would release another "major Florida endorsement" in a conference call Thursday afternoon. This call was cancelled, and in my opinion, the Clinton camp probably heaved a great sigh of dismay and gave each other worried looks about losing a semi-prominent African-American endorsement. Boo-hoo.
A Democrat from Florida who did endorse Clinton, Alcee Hastings said, "When we elect the next President Clinton, this country will be a much better place for the African-American community." Well, evidently not all seem to agree. Maybe there are still plenty of us who remember when Bill Clinton showed how great of an advocate for African-Americans he was when he wore that terrible afro-wig on Martha's Vineyard in 1997. http://www.hillaryclinton.com/news/release/view/?id=1962

Well, evidently Meek has had a change of heart. He has not only endorsed Clinton's run for President, but he will be serving as a Senior Advisor for her campaign. http://www.hillaryclinton.com/news/release/view/?id=2025
