If Marco had a lick of sense he’d announce his bid for Senate reelection.
But then again if he had a lick of sense he would not have schemed with Schumer against the citizens.

Too bad. Atwater is a good guy and could win. I sent him some money when he ran for the Florida House. After the election he sent it back, saying he hadn’t needed it. How many politicians do that?

Why would a Florida CFO ever want to run for US Senator or anything else? The Florida CFO position is an unusually cushy job, with limited duties, a fat salary and benefits, and residence in pleasant, laid back Tallahassee, which has a low cost of living and a major state university available for any college age offspring.

In addition, the CFO has easy reelection virtually assured in the absence of a ten alarm scandal. After two or three terms, a Florida CFO has great potential to earn in the private sector based on accumulated expertise and financial industry contacts. Or, if the GOP wins the Presidency in 2016, a Florida CFO could aim for a major Washington appointment as a financial regulator or policymaker.

Run for Gov in 2018?

"I remain committed to only one endeavor and that is to be the best CFO I can be for the people of Florida.”

Interesting. Near as I can tell, people run for the Senate for the same reason Willie Hutton robbed banks.

i liked Atwater.

Another good possible candidate is the Jewish guy from Palm Beach...I can’t recall his name now....Adam Hasner? I think that is him.

AFAIK, the guy is solid. Maybe he’ll run, emphasize Israel’s security and not sucking up to Cuba and Iran....

Any relation to Lee Atwater?

[Zathras]

I think Rubio is going to back out.
The GOP-e has told him they are backing Jeb and the Tea Party is going Cruz or Walker.

No one left to support him for Pres and he will have to work HARD to keep his Senate seat.
