Charlie Crist gets serious about Florida Senate race

Crist majic
Charlie Crist adviser Kevin Cate is telling CNN that Crist is "being encouraged to seriously consider bringing the people's voice to the U.S. Senate."

Cate's statement is being seen as Crist's first attempt to go public with the notion that he would be a Democratic candidate in 2016.

Crist lost a 1998 Senate bid as a Republican running against Democratic incumbent Bob Graham. He lost again in 2010 against Marco Rubio who all but booted Crist from the Republican Party and forced Crist to run as an independent. Last year, the newly converted Democrat lost a close race for governor to Republican incumbent Rick Scott.

Of course, Crist isn't the only Democrat looking at a possible Senate run. And much of the speculation seems to count on the idea that incumbent Republican Marco Rubio will be a candidate for president. If Rubio runs, he has vowed not to seek a second senate term.

If Rubio leaves the Senate, expect a crowded field of Republicans and Democrats hoping to replace him.
