Alex Sink running for Bill Young's old house seat

[Donerail]

Sykes to decide within next few days.

Personally, I'd be happiest if one of the County Commish Dems like Charlie Justice or Ken Welch got in.

Ehrlich is in.

Deep breaths, Democrats. We've got redemption on our hands.

Cue rage-fit from Beverly Young.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Justice or Ken Welch (Walch?) would be far better.

I've heard that Justice was a lazy campaigner when he ran against Bill Young, but he otherwise seems pretty good.

He had no chance of winning then though.

It's Welch.

Justice was a lazy campaigner when he ran against Bill Young because he was running against Bill Young. Conventional wisdom held that Young was probably going to retire that year - that's why Justice, at the time a fairly young State Senator, was willing to gamble on running against him. Young ended up deciding to run and was unbeatable.

Rev. Sykes is in. He's the President of the St. Pete NAACP and the pastor of Bethel Community Baptist (the most influential African-American church in the city). Military background too.

Does he have any notable policy positions besides those mentioned in the article?

Ah, but that would imply I'm an Emily's List fan (which I've already stated my qualms with too many times).

I know that he's been active in the gun control push around here, and he's also been an advocate of Rubio's voucher plan, which could prove problematic in a primary against Ehrlich. Other than that he's a pretty solid D.

However, I doubt Ehrlich runs for the seat. She seems happy at Fox.
