Rep. Kendrick Meek (D-FL) officially announced earlier today that he will be running for retiring Sen. Mel Martinez's (R-FL) Senate seat.He is the first Democrat to enter the race, while most other prominent Democrats in the state--namely Reps. Allen Boyd and Ron Klein--are waiting on state CFO Alex Sink to announce her intentions for 2010. If Sink runs, she will face a primary challenge from Meek, who will be a probably mount a competitive campaign.
Meek has already hired some talent to his campaign in the form of Steve Hildebrand, Barack Obama's deputy national campaign manager and the former political director of the DSCC. It is clear that he is very serious about running and should not be taken lightly by Sink or any other Democratic candidates.
