Rubio, Sink among '50 Politicos to Watch'
POLITICO today has come up with a list of "50 Politicos to Watch" and the list includes two Floridians: Marco Rubio and Alex Sink.
"If she defeats Republican Attorney General Bill McCollum in 2010, you can bet that her status as a female Democratic megastate governor will immediately catapult her into the national political spotlight," reads the Sink blurb.
"If elected, Rubio would almost immediately win national notice as the only Hispanic Republican in the Senate -- and one of only four in all of congress. Rubio, however, is a distinct underdog, since the party establishment has rallied behind (Gov. Charlie) Crist."
So help us out with a list of the top, say, 15 Florida politicos to watch. Rubio, Sink, Crist ... Weatherford ... ?
