FL-Sen, FL-Gov: Sink to Announce Decision "Soon"

[ccharles000]

Florida Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink, who is perhaps the strongest candidate Democrats currently have on their statewide bench (and the only one aside from Bill Nelson currently elected statewide), says the she'll be making a decision shortly on her political future. From the St. Petersburg Times:

On the subject of politics, Sink promised a decision soon on her political future which could include running for the U.S. Senate seat held by Republican Mel Martinez in 2010, running for governor, or staying put, and perhaps preparing for a run for governor in 2014 when the office will be open.
"I'm going to make up my mind very soon," Sink said. "It's all about what's best for me, and what's best for the state."

As for Martinez himself, The Hill notes that he hasn't announced his intentions for 2010 (he will do so in January). While it may be unlikely, it wouldn't totally shock me if Martinez decided not to run for another term.

1. Their Campaign Will Sink Fast

2. We Need That Governorship More

We need a Democratic governor in Florida next term more than we need another Democratic Senator.

We redistrict in 2012. The legislature is so heavily Republican, the Democrats can't make a difference. We need a Democratic governor to prevent our districts from becoming even more gerrymandered.
