Alex Sink to name Rod Smith as her running mate Thursday

By MICHAEL C. BENDER and DARA KAM

Alex Sink will bring her Democratic campaign for governor to West Palm Beach on Thursday to announce Rod Smith as her running mate, The Palm Beach Post has learned.

Sink’s campaign wouldn’t confirm anything other than to say they’ll be in the city for a “special announcement” at 10 a.m. We reached Smith, a former state senator from Gainesville and a 2006 gubernatorial candidate, who tried to change the subject to the Florida Marlins.

“I’m not talking about my travel plans or when I’ll be there,” Smith said when we asked if he’d be in West Palm Beach on Thursday.

But several sources confirmed that Smith will be the announcement.
