Alex Sink barely lost the 2010 governor’s race to Rick Scott, and as she weighs whether to take him on again there is no shortage of armchair shrinks speculating about her thinking:
• The sudden death in December of her husband, former gubernatorial candidate Bill McBride, was too big a blow for her to run another grueling campaign without him.
• Sink wants to run because she needs to throw herself into something big and all-consuming after McBride’s death.
• She resents all the attention on lifelong-Republican-turned-Democrat Charlie Crist and is intent on being courted for as long as possible.
• She resents Crist so much, his expected candidacy would ensure she jumps in.
“Don’t waste your time,” Sink said Tuesday in a 45-minute interview with the Tampa Bay Times. “You’re going to talk to people and they’ll tell you I’m definitely running or that I’m definitely not. That’s only because I’m not subtle enough to be giving little hints out there.”
