When I asked him directly if he is running for the U.S. Senate, Haridopolos said, ”Yes, I am in.”
The announcement will not come as a surprise to people that follow Florida politics. Haridopolos will make an official announcement. Haridopolos likely allowed Manjarres to break the story to tell campaign contributors he is open for business. If Haridopolos wins the primary he will have to deal with incumbent Bill Nelson's war chest and President Obama on the top of the ballot. Haridopolos has a tougher road to the Senate than Marco Rubio.
Nelson is very beatable, but I don't think Haridopolos can do it. I'm a democrat and would vote for a good republican to replace Nelson, bc he's a do nothing Senator. It looks like the republicans are going to ruin there chances by having another bruising primary. Had you not picked that nutcase Katherine Harris in 2006, you'd probably have this seat already. With Obama being at the top of the ticket it's going to take a really good candidte to overcome the Democrats turn out machine. Please pick wisely.
