That leaves Leroy Collins. I like what I see so far.
Research bump
How can we get McBride to exit the race & throw his support to Collins? It would help him more in future runs for office as opposed to losing to Harris.

I like his library. ;-) Sorry, I just can't get the library image out of my mind.
(the Tallahassee public library system is the Leroy Collins Library.)
Not to highjack the thread, but can anyone confirm McBride marched in the "immigrant rally" in Orlando a couple months ago? (on the day of the immigrant boycott.)
I know very little about the Admiral (or his father) but he is looking like the best choice by default. Given his age, realistically he would most likely be a one-termer; maybe the GOP will have better luck recruiting in 6 years.
He may have served in the active Navy (submarines) but could not have served in the Navy Reserve (submarines) as there are NO Navy Reserve submarines (too dangerous for weekend warriors to operate).
Harris also supports the WOT and everything in the article.
Collins is a joke and won't even make it past 5% in the primary. Plus, he's 72 years old.
I am more and more inclined to that view as well. Collins' radio ads are clear appeals to conservative GOP primary voters. Collins may also have appeal to old line Democrats based on his family history and to pro-government military types, an unusual bonus for a GOP statewide candidate in Florida.
Get this--the #1 testimonial on his business website is none other than Al Franken!

How old is Leroy Collins? He looks kind of long in the tooth to be a freshman Senator.
