Hang On A Minute! Sink Puts Senate Race Back On Table
Suddenly, after Sen. Mel Martinez’s announcement that he won’t run for re-election, Alex Sink’s staff is retracting her leaked plans to forgo the Senate race. “I spoke too soon—there’s not going to be an announcement today,” a Sink spokeswoman said.
Unnamed sources close to Sink had spread the word among reporters this morning that she would run for re-election to her chief financial officer seat in 2010 rather than seek the Martinez Senate seat. A formal announcement would be coming before lunchtime, they said.
After Martinez’s announcement at 11 a.m. that he wouldn’t run for re-election, the leaks about Sink are being retracted.
Will Sink seek the Senate seat? It’s now up in the air.

Jeb is the best and was also the best governor this state has ever had. Jeb would win hands down and Sink is so weak she was afraid to even run against Mel Martinez and that tells you how strong she thinks she is. Crist is a wimp with no guts or conviction and it would be fantastic to have a strong leader here in Florida again. If Crist wasn’t governor Jim Greer wouldn’t have any bags to carry and nothing to do so we would have to add one more name to the unemployment numbers.
