U.S. Senator Bill Nelson (D) is up for reelection and is right on his way to cruise to an easy victory.
The Candidates
(D)Bill Nelson, U.S. Senator 2001-Present, Florida State Treasurer, Isurance Commissioner & State Fire Marshall, U.S. House of Representitives 1979-1991, Florida State Legislature 1973-1979
(R)Katherine Harris, U.S. House of Representitives 2003-Present, Florida State Secretary of State 1999-2003, Florida State Senator 1995-1999
(R)Will McBride, Attorney At Law, Will McBride Law Group Founder and Chairman
(R)LeRoy Collins, Retired U.S. Naval Admiral, Assistant Deputy Chief of Naval Operations at the Pentagon participated in operation DESERT STORM, Son of Ex. Gov. Collins, Businessman
(R)Peter Monroe, Developer & Ex Resolution Trust Corporation Oversight Board President
Katherine Harris the famed State Secretary of State that called victory for George W. Bush in Florida in the 2000 Pres. Election and now congressman has decided to challenge Senator Nelson but without support from her party. Harris was almost challenged by State Speaker of the house Al Bense and with the party's support he would of surely defeated Harris. Now her party has been humilating her with attack after attack. In my opinion this campign has hurt her political career. She has lost her congressional seat and her has become very unpopular with the party. Attorney Will McBride and Admiral LeRoy Collins are her two main opponents for her primary, but she will most likely win the primary. Nelson should be enjoying every minute of the fall of his main opponent because she has given him a ticket to a second term. Harris is still hanging in but she needs and boost in support and fast if she wants that senate seat. Sen. Nelson is unopposed in his primary ans has his party's full support so that has given him a great boost in his numbers.
