I think Nelson will retire...he can read the tea leaves..
Since Jeb! siad he has no interest in runing for the White House in 2008, he in effect now owns Nelsons seat in the U.S. Senate!
He might well retire? It's such a bummer being in the minority in the Senate. I think was LBJ who said being in the majority is like chicken salad, being in the minority is like chicken poop?
