| Description | These are good days for Adam Putnam as he keeps one eye on 2014 and the other down the road.
So far, he is cruising in his bid for a second term. In the two and a half months since he filed for re-election, Putnam has raised $591,011. For the moment, his right flank seems pretty secure. By jabbing Gov. Rick Scott for agreeing to the Medicaid expansion mandated by Obamacare, Putnam won points with conservatives. There was even talk about him challenging Scott in the primary come 2014 and a “draft Putnam” website was launched by conservative backers.
Putnam’s left seems fairly secure for the moment as well. There’s buzz that Dan Gelber or Perry Thurston will challenge Attorney General Pam Bondi in 2014. CFO Jeff Atwater could be targeted by Jim Waldman. But no major Democrat’s name is yet being floated to take on Putnam next year. Eventually some Democrat or another will step up to the plate and take one for the team. Putnam should win handily like he did against Scott Maddox last time out. |
