We still don’t know whether the big gun in Florida politics, Gov. Charlie Crist, is going to run for the Senate next year, but now we know more about who isn’t going to run.

The Associated Press reports that Rep. Connie Mack , R-Fla., will not pursue a Senate bid and instead will seek a fourth term in the House.

Mack advised Republican Gov. Charlie Crist of his decision in an April 2 letter.
