The countdown is on for the May 1 end of legislative session and, of course, an announcement from Republican Gov. Charlie Crist about whether he’ll seek re-election or run for the open U.S. Senate seat in 2010.

Earlier this month, I was alone in a Capitol elevator with Crist (and his security detail) and asked him what he was thinking about and considering as he mulls his decision.

He didn’t bite, but he did turn to me and ask if I had any advice for him. So I’ll pass that question on to our panelists here at The Forum:

What office should Gov. Charlie Crist run for in 2010 and why?
