It’ll be one hell of a flip-flop if Meek drops out now. I mean, as far as denials go, this is a pretty solid one.

“The article is not true,” Meek campaign manager Abe Dyk said in a statement. “Kendrick Meek was never dropping out of this race, is never dropping out of this race, and will never drop out of this race. Kendrick Meek will always stand up for the middle class and will not leave Floridians a choice between two lifelong conservative Republicans who only stand with the special interests. Kendrick is the Democratic nominee so if anyone should drop out, it’s Charlie Crist.”

Pretty clear.

Update: CNN says Meek himself has told Roland Martin that, “I’m not getting out of the race.”

Update X2: Yeah, based on that press conference, Meek’s not dropping out. And he doesn’t sound like a man about to change his mind. Sorry, Charlie.
