Greene begins commercials, can Meek do more than watch?
05/18/2010
Palm Beach billionaire Jeff Greene now has two ads on the air for his three-week old U.S. Senate race.
His opponent in the Democratic primary, U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek must make some tough money decisions.
Meek had $3.7 million in his campaign bank account as of March 31. Not great, not bad. But if you suddenly have a billionaire challenger willing to spend his own money to win that $3.7 million starts to look pretty paltry.
Meek has not been doing well in the polls and he may not be able to sit back and just watch Greene spend a small fortune building his name recognition among voters.
But in a state where it cost upwards of $1 million a week to saturate the airwaves, Meek will have to play a very strategic money game.
Can't wait to learn more about Jeff...I really like what he has to say! Jobs are a real issue for my family, and I'm looking forward to hearing some job creating ideas from such a successful person.
