TALLAHASSEE -- Lawton "Bud" Chiles is throwing his support to Democrat Alex Sink in the Florida governor's race.
Sink joined Chiles for a news conference Thursday in Tallahassee to formally announce he is dropping his independent candidacy.
Chiles said he and Sink, now Florida's chief financial officer, never discussed whether he might have a role in her administration if she defeats Republican newcomer Rick Scott.
Chiles is the son of the late "Walkin' Lawton" Chiles, a Democratic icon as Florida's governor and a U.S. senator. The younger Chiles ran as an independent due to frustration with the influence of money on both parties.
He says he's dropping out, though, because he doesn't believe he can raise enough money to win.
