He even bashed the leaders of his party as 'political party bosses in Washington' and accused them, as he has previously, of violating Floridians' right to vote.
'The average citizen in Florida can no longer see their candidates for president,' Nelson said. 'The party bosses have barred them from campaigning here except for private fundraisers. This is unacceptable.'
But Nelson also said he feels 'very, very optimistic' that the situation will be resolved - possibly by reaching a compromise with party officials, or possibly as a result of a lawsuit he and Rep. Alcee Hastings have filed against the Democratic National Committee.
'I think at the end of the day, we will be united. I think at the end of the day we will have the candidates coming to Florida, within a short period of time,' he said.
Not if he keeps alieniating the national party, they won't. Nelson is not known for taking tough stands in the Senate. He caved on the torture bill. Why is he going to suddenly buck the DNC?
Kenneth Quinnell suggested that Nelson wants to be the nominess VP. Nelson would be the worst VP candidate since Bob Dole. He has zero charisma, scant Senate accomplishments and no national name-recognition. If Nelson really is dissing the DNC just for VP then he is delussional.
he does it on purpose.
