Floridians really seem to dislike Mel Martinez. His approval rating is a dismal 23%, with 43% disapproving of his antics in Congress. This one is shaping up to be a major pick-up opportunity on the horizon, especially if we can get a top-tier recruit like Florida CFO Alex Sink to enter the race. It’s never too early to start thinking ahead to 2010.
Bonus finding: Obama leads McCain by 46-44 in the state.
His online ”presence” has certainly increased as of late.

but apparently Darcy Burner’s house just burned down. Hope everything is all right.
is too liberal for Florida as a whole.
He’s getting the 33% of hard core dems who would never vote for Martinez. But he’d be hard pressed to grab enough to make up a majority.
I don’t know much about Sink, but she was elected state wide, only the second Dem to be elected state wide in a while. That’s a huge plus.
and alex sink looks good. but klein can use house funds to run for senate and he could have 2 to $4M in ’09 alone probably putting him right there with martinez in money.
the more i think of it the more obvious it is. i trust martinez is raising furiously right now – unless he’s giving up. does anyone know his money situation?
now.
