Here's Adam C. Smith's winner and loser of the week in Florida politics:
Winner of the week:
Gwen Graham, Philip Levine, Chris King, Andrew Gillum. The Democratic candidates for governor saw their greatest obstacle to the nomination, John Morgan, rule out running.
Loser of the week.
Florida Democratic Party. Utter turmoil with the party leadership means is lousy news for all-important money-raising. Plus, Morgan ruling out a run for governor as a Democrat means they no longer have the candidate widely seen as their strongest prospect and the guy who most worried Republicans.
