When asked if he has any plans to challenge Gov. Rick Scott in the 2014 GOP primary, Florida House Speaker Will Weatherford mostly said no -- mostly -- but he didn't emphatically rule it out.

Weatherford said he's too busy right now going into the 2013 legislative session to think of such things. He and Scott are friends, Scott is doing a good job, and besides, they agree on most things anyway, Medicaid expansion excepted.

Not an "absolutely, positively not interested," Mr. Speaker.

Failing to provide that kind of certainty juices up oddsmakers' gossip around town and invites a reporters' stampede every time the popular speaker offers himself for questions. See for yourself in the video below.


And you thought this session wouldn't be as much fun as the last one?
