It's her fault that she didn't have better competition?

Well, I appreciate your zeal. The point is that
A) her name recognition scared all good candidates away in the primary
B) The Republican party at the state and national level told her she would get killed, as the polls are now indicating
C) She obviously cares more about selfish desires than to see a conservative Republican as Florida Senator.

Her selfishness could be the difference between Harry Reid being the Majority leader or the Minority leader. None of the above is arguable. What good is support when nothing the candidate believes matters because she has absolutely no chance of winning and fighting to institute those beliefs.

You keep making this about loyalty and yet you ignore the egregious abrogation of loyalty committed by the candidate in the first place.

Just exactly WHO IS this conservative Republican candidate that was likely to beat Nelson? Where is he today? Where was he two years ago? Why was he so unsuccessful against Harris?

If you insist on having candidates that can win regardless of politics, you will end up like us in Kalifornia with a RINO governor fighting global warming.

Why the hell didn't Jeb Bush run? She wouldn't have run against HIS NAME RECOGNITION! He could have resigned for some reason allowing Crist to appoint his successor (though I'm sure you really despise the fact that Crist is running!!!).

Coulda, woulda, shoulda is pointless!

Baloney. If you don't have the will to run, you don't have it. Has nothing to do with Harris "scaring" the other candidates and everything to do with the other candidates themselves too chicken to enter the race.

The Republican party at the state and national level told her she would get killed, as the polls are now indicating

So...why didn't they field a good candidate against her in the primary if they know she's going to get "killed?" Again I ask - Bense, Franks, Jeb...WHY THE HECK DIDN'T THEY RUN???

She obviously cares more about selfish desires than to see a conservative Republican as Florida Senator.

Hello - she IS a conservative Republican. You're not going to get a better conservative Republican than Harris for this race.

Her selfishness could be the difference between Harry Reid being the Majority leader or the Minority leader.

Ain't gonna happen because Nelson is the incumbent and the GOP establishment has already figured in a possible Harris loss into the majority equation. So your point is moot.

None of the above is arguable. What good is support when nothing the candidate believes matters because she has absolutely no chance of winning and fighting to institute those beliefs.

More FL MSM talking points. She won her primary fair and square you simply can't refute that.
