Rep. Allen Boyd (D-FL) and state Attorney General Bill McCollum (R-FL) announced today that they will not be running for the open Senate seat in Florida in 2010.
Now that Boyd is out the of running, the remaining Democrats interested in the seat are Rep. Kendrick Meek and state Sen. Dan Gelber (who have both announced their candidacies), and Rep. Ron Klein and Tampa Mayor Pam Iorio (who are still mulling runs).
On the Republican side, McCollum--who has lost two previous Senate bids--was thought to be one of the top three contenders for the nomination, but now it looks like there could be a battle between the other two: former state House Speaker Marco Rubio and Rep. Connie Mack. "Neither candidate has officially announced their candidacy, but both are preparing campaigns behind the scene," Politico reports.
