#rsrh Ron Klein (D, Nothing in particular) cuts and runs.

The DCCC was kind of hoping for a different answer, here:

Former Rep. Ron Klein (D-Fla.) said Wednesday he is not going to run next year for the seat he lost to Rep. Allen West (R) in November, despite entreaties from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

Rep. Israel is having a bad cycle generally, and it’s only March of 2011: as Jim Geraghty and the NRCC cheerfully noted, the available pool of targeted seats has gone from 61 to 37 to 14 to 13.  And in a Presidential cycle, too…
