Florida: Sink can win this time: even though she's not that good a campaigner and kinda a moderate hero, she's not Scott. Rod Smith was actually Sink's Lt. Gov. running mate, and is a Blue Dog type guy. There's a good group of mayors (Alvin Brown of Jacksonville, Buddy Dyer of Orlando, Jack Seiler of Ft. Lauderdale, Pam Iorio of Tampa), but they really only have appeal in their localities. State Sens. Jeremy Ring, Nan Rich, Dave Aronberg, and Dan Gelber all seem like decent people, but they're from South Florida, so no. So there's a pretty good group of Democrats who, excluding Sink & Smith, can't win, and I don't like Sink or Smith (and they'd be a 50-50 shot). Really, there's only 3 "Democrats" who can win statewide. Those 3 "Democrats" are Gov. Bob Graham, Sen. Bill Nelson, and Gov. Charlie Crist. Bob Graham probably won't return, and Bill Nelson'd only run if he lost his Senate election (which he won't). So you're left with one option: Charlie.
