The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee sent out this press release today highlighting a Sun-Sentinel story last weekend that raised questions about Gov. Charlie Crist’s work schedule. The Associated Press also explored the issue in this story.

But what’s noteworthy today is that the press release clearly shows the DSCC is anticipating Crist will run for the state’s open U.S. Senate seat.

“Maybe the know something I don’t,” Crist said.

Crist hasn’t announced what office he’ll run for in 2010 (he said he’ll decide after session). But many expect him to leave the state’s budget problems behind and head for D.C.

For signs, consider that politicians seem to making future plans based on Crist packing up the governor’s mansion:

RPOF Chairman Jim Greer is considering a Congressional campaign (his current position largely depends on Crist remaining in Tallahassee) and House Majority Leader Adam Hasner told us on Sunday he won’t challenge incumbent U.S. Rep. Ron Klein (expectations are that he’d have an open office to run for after the domino-effect from Crist leaving the governor’s office).
