Why would Nelson throw away his pretty safe Senate seat (he won his last re-election by 13)? Republicans would almost certainly pick up his seat. This is really dumb.
He's not throwing away his Senate seat - he runs in the primary, then he loses, then he serves in the Senate for another 4 years, and then he retires because he's in his 70s.
If Nelson runs there's no way he's losing a primary to former Republican Crist.
You keep on believing that, I'll trust the poll.
Yeah, no. Scott clearly has a vested interest in going against the weaker candidate, who is obviously Crist.
That said, I'd hope Nelson stays put. We can't afford to lose his Senate seat.
