With U.S. Rep Ron Klein, D-Boca Raton, seriously looking at running for U.S. Senate, we've heard a fair amount of speculation that he's worried his swing district could be tougher to win after reapportionment. That may wind up the case, but just as likely the district will become more Democrat-friendly as lawmakers work to strengthen other GOP-held districts in the area, including Tom Rooney's.

"Mario Diaz-Balart has already told me he and Lincoln will be all over the state legislature to make sure their districts are strengthened,'' said Klein, downplaying redistricting as a factor. He said he expects to make a decision on the senate "in the next number of weeks."

"I've been looking at it for the last month or so. We're still doing some research. ... I've had some very positive indicators from consultants, but I'm still working it through with my family and so forth," Klein said. "There's a lot of work to be done so that if I do get in we can hit the ground running."
