Former state Senator Rod Smith of Alachua County, a close runner-up for the Democratic nomination for Governor the last time around, is reportedly expected to run for Attorney General if A-G Bill McCollum throws his hat in the ring for governor. McCollum’s decision to do so is all but a given at this point. Florida politics will be active in the coming year. It’s the first time in well over a century that all key posts in Florida government will be up for grabs. Behind the scenes already lots of rumors are flying about how internal party politics are already impacting who may run and who may not.
