| Description | Former state senator Rod Smith is considering joining the Democratic field of contenders for retiring U.S. Sen. Mel Martinez’ seat, sources close to Smith said.
Smith, a former state attorney from Gainesville, is no stranger to statewide politics. He lost a 2006 gubernatorial primary race against Jim Davis but is considered by Democratic operatives to be a strong candidate for another statewide run, possibly as attorney general.
U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek and state Sen. Dan Gelber, both of Miami-Dade County, have already announced their intentions to run.
