Sink Won’t Run for Florida Governor

After months of flirting with another campaign for Florida governor — “and trashing likely Democratic frontrunner Charlie Crist (D) — Alex Sink (D) has decided to stay on the sidelines,” the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Said Sink: “I’m enjoying the possibility of making a difference in private life.”

“Sink’s decision not to run was widely expected in Florida political circles, as she showed little sign of putting together a campaign and was up front about her ambivalence and her family’s opposition. But until Friday the former Bank of America leader and former state chief financial officer continued to keep the door open and several times pushed back her deadline for announcing a decision.”
