Writeup of the field of play for the seat currently held by Sen. Bill Nelson, D-FL.

Notably absent names, for good or ill: Jeb Bush, Jennifer Carroll, Bill McCollum, Tom Gallagher.

If Connie Mack IV wanted to run for Senate he should have chosen to live in the state full time, instead of 70% in Washington and 15% in California with his wife, US Rep. Mary Bono Mack.

Virtually any Republican in Florida with a pulse could beat Nelson in ‘12... except McCollum and KH.

Jeb would be a great senator and if he'd run, I'd support him. Another name that I think would be a good one would be Adam Putnam, our new Commissioner of Agriculture.

George LeMieux is an interesting possibility. He was supposed to be just a place holder for Crist, but seems to have done pretty well under the circumstances, particularly after Crist bolted the GOP.

I think Nelson will retire and not run for reelection. He knows trying get reelected with Obama at the top of the ticket in 2012 will be almost impossible. I think there will be several Democrat Senators retiring in 2012 either voluntarily or involuntarily.

Are ANY of these guys NOT flaming RINOs? Vern Buchanan? LePeux? Connie friggin’ Mack??!!!???

Are these choices just designed to make Jeb Bush look better?

Connie Mack the IV is a POS RINO/DIABLO who supports open-borders and opposed AZ law.

His grandpa was best known for rigging baseball games with Scott Rothstein the ponzi king’s grandpa.

FL does not need frat boy RINOs like Connie Mack.

[Terry Mross]

I wonder if Crist will run. And if he does will McCain endorse him?

[LRoggy]

Let’s add Adam Hasner to the list.

How about Cong-elect Allen West?
