Breaking: Sink Not Running for US Senate?

From (yet again) Politico, just posted:

Sink not running against Martinez

One of the Democrats’ leading candidates to challenge Sen. Mel Martinez (R-Fla.) in 2010 has decided to pass up the opportunity, according to a source familiar with her thinking.

Florida’s chief financial officer, Alex Sink, has decided to run for a second term as CFO and forego a run against Martinez. She made the decision over the Thanksgiving weekend.

Sink’s office did not return phone calls seeking comment.
