{First, a cheap plug for my blog Senate Guru.}
Congresswoman Corrine Brown’s timeline as to when she will firmly decide whether or not she will run for Senate in 2010 seems a bit unclear. On Sunday, it was reported: “She expects to make a decision within a few weeks.” However, today it’s reported: “Brown said she will decide whether to run within six months.”
Congressman Kendrick Meek already has a huge head start in fundraising and endorsements. She needs to jump in ASAP if she wants to offer a competitive campaign. Shifting her decision-making timeline from “a few weeks” to “six months” suggests to me that she’s less serious about the race and just wants to put in her marker in the case that Congressman Meek stumbles.
