Crist left the GOP to run as an independent after Rubio led him before the Republican primary. Meek said Crist had also called Clinton's office "trying to persuade them to get me out of this race." "Gov. Crist talked to me about getting out of the race. I recommended to the governor that he should consider getting out of the race," Meek said on CNN's American Morning. Really.
