Rep. Corrine "Go Gata!" Brown will not run for the democratic nomination for Senate, after months of teasing that she would. Brown had ruffled her former colleague and close friend Carrie Meek's feathers by entertaining the idea of running against her son Rep. Kendrick Meek.

Instead, she announced today she'll run for re-election to her house seat.

"In these difficult times, I can use my position in the House to do even more to help my constituents," she said.

If re-elected, it will be her ninth term.
