In the Sunshine State, Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson, is banking on incumbency and gun control to get him over the top. Hes been lucky throughout his Senate career in facing opponents who havent been the best, especially during his 2000 re-election campaign. This year is differentand he knew it. Last year, Politico reported that Nelson met with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and other Democrats ahead what will be a true contest. Hell be fighting for his political life and he needs money. Republican Gov. Rick Scott, who is term-limited, has tossed his hat into the ring. Despite his recent betrayal of Second Amendment rights by signing an appalling law that increased the age of gun purchases to 21, hes a solid candidate. Independently wealthy, he can fund his own race. Hes also proving himself to be an adept campaigner, hitting Hispanic outreach hard, which is making Democratic activists very nervous. Another startling sign: only 49 percent know who the hell Nelson is in the state. Not a good sign for a three-term incumbent

Nelson will write his memoirs:
How to stay in public office for nearly 50 years and do absolutely nothing.............
When Scott signed that law, I swore I would not vote for him.
I guess I will just have to hold my nose but I really wish there was an alternative.
This race will be listed as Toss Up until the Florida voters toss him up.

There's a reason he's called 'The Ghost'..................
Republican Cramer leads Heidi in North Dakota but Dem Tester leads in Montana.

Scott’s the one. Just look how long Nelson’s been there. First things first. Take him out. THEN deal with Scott. You’ll have 6 years to do it.
Well, he will remind you he was a shuttle ass-tro-naught.
Despite that one bad call on the gun bill, Scott has been an effective governor and I will have no problem voting FOR him, as opposed to simply AGAINST Nelson.
Effective, eh?

Yup, Scott’s been effective, all right.
A Midget Fight.
PC ALERT! PC ALERT! You know you can’t say the “M” word any more. LOL!
His face is as bad as John Kerrys ..stiff.
I would be so great to see this useless clown go. He’s just a rubber stamp for liberal anti-American garbage.
I just want to see the end of the era of political space-faring “heroes” and what they become after returning to earth.
Oh, and FU Captain Sully for “honorable” mention!

Scotts got my vote. Nelson has so many commercials going on. The same tired astronaut experience. Its like thats the only thing hes done.
Bill Nelson he was first elected to go to Washington when the Ford Pinto was the best selling car. He’s proof #1 that Washington needs term limits...
I cant figure out why Montana continues to re-elect Tester.
