The fact that neither Bush, W or Jeb, could recruit a reasonable candidate for this race before Harris even got in is a mystery to me. So, what if Harris were to withdraw. Who do the Republicans have to put up against Nelson other than "Nobody"?
Apparently your are not a Floridian or you would know that Alan Bense is the speaker of our (strongly Republican) house.
He may not be that well-known nationally, but he's not running nationally...it's us Florida folks who will vote him in and YES, we are ready to do it, given the opportunity.
There seem to be a lot of people who view our politics from a distance and think they have it all figured out. Never make decisions based on a distant view....you could end up married to Rosie O'Donnell.
