Alex Sink Looking At Potential Running Mate

Word is Alex Sink is going to pick a running mate before the primary. The leading candidate is Rod Smith. Former Senate candidate Betty Castor confirmed to Tampa Tribune political reporter William March that Sink campaign is discussing candidates.

Former University of South Florida President Betty Castor, a close Sink political ally, said she didn't know what candidates were being considered, but, "I know there's some conversation going on, and the fact that they're beginning the process now suggests they're leaning toward an early pick."

I don't have a problem with Smith. I thought he would have made a stronger general election candidate against Charlie Crist.

Ron Saunders told March that Sink discussed with him the possibility of being Lt. Governor. Since Saunders opened his mouth we can count on Sink scratching his name off the list. Miami Mayor Manny Diaz is a choice I find interesting. Dan Gelber is in the Attorney General's race and probably won't be asked. Although, I like Gelber.
