Thurman: Game on

Those cheers you are hearing are coming from Florida Democrats elated by the news that Republican U.S. Sen. Mel Martinez will not run for re-election. The open seat gives Democrats, feeling confident over their success in 2008, a shot at another statewide post.

In a statement, Florida Democratic Party Chairwoman Karen Thurman said, "Martinez's announcement ensures that Florida will be a central battleground in the 2010 election.  Over the past three years, Democrats have made major gains in Florida, winning three of the six statewide elections. We look forward to a strong Democrat winning this Senate seat to help implement President-elect Barack Obama vision of change and join Sen. Bill Nelson in representing Florida in the tradition of Bob Graham and Lawton Chiles."
