Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The 2010 United States Senate election in Florida will take place on November 2, 2010 along with other elections to the United States Senate in other states as well as elections to the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections. First-term Senator Mel Martinez was elected in a very close race against Democrat Betty Castor in 2004 with 49% of the vote. Martinez announced on December 2, 2008 that he will not seek a second term to the Senate, and will resign prior to the end of his term. Many Democratic politicians have been mentioned as potential candidates for the race. Two of them, Representatives Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Robert Wexler, announced in 2008 that they would not run. Congressman Kendrick Meek was the first Democrat to declare his intention to run. Upon Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink''s decision not to run, State Senator Dan Gelber formed an exploratory committee. However, Gelber ultimately decided not to run, so as to avoid a divisive primary. Gelber has announced that he will Twitter throughout the legislative sessions as a pledge to demonstrate transparency in government.
