Someone's playing the race card in Florida's Democratic senate primary, but we're not sure if it's Jeff Greene or Kendrick Meek. Here's what Greene told the Wall Street Journal: "Kendrick Meek is unelectable," Mr. Greene says, noting that with "a lot of the demographics, I will do much better than Kendrick Meek." By implication, that means nonblack voters in central Florida and the panhandle , where Mr. Meek polls badly. "He's been running for a year and a half," Mr. Greene adds. "He's been in Congress for eight years. I've been in six weeks and I'm even with him already. Doesn't that tell you something."

After hearing complaints from the Meek campaign came this e-mail declaring that Greene has "played the race card." ""Mr.Greene should apologize immediately.  This type of  rhetoric has no place in our politics, it is divisive and hurtful to many of the Democratic Party's strongest supporters in the minority community.---Anthony Thomas Jr,Chairman of Citizens For A Better Fort Myers Government and Willie B. Green, president of the Lee County Southern Christian Leadership Conference.

To suggest that Greene thinks a black candidate can't win Florida seems pretty ludicrous, considering that Obama won Florida. But that's been part of the undercurrent as Meek allies have repeatedly bemoaned that he hasn't been taken more seriously.
