Haridopolos drops out of Republican Senate primary, says he won’t seek office in 2012

In a YouTube clip posted today, Florida Senate President Mike Haridopolos announces that he’s decided to drop out of the U.S. Senate GOP primary.

After touting his 2011 record in the Legislature and some of his early campaign endorsements, Haridopolos says it “became increasingly clear” that his responsibilities as a legislative leader were “in conflict” with his campaign commitments. He also says he won’t be a candidate for any office in 2012.
