Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson‘s campaign says it will report nearly $2 million in contributions for the third quarter when it files a Federal Election Commission report later this week.

The Nelson campaign also says it has $7.5 million in cash on hand for the two-term incumbent’s 2012 reelection bid. It says the third-quarter haul came from 5,133 individual donors.

Republicans hoping to unseat Nelson — former appointed Sen. George LeMieux, former state House Majority Leader Adam Hasner of Boca Raton, businessmen Craig Miller and Mike McCalister — have not yet announced their fundraising totals for the July 1-Sept. 30 period.

As said before, years ago I used to think Nelson was a good guy.

No more!

Just another shallow slimy un-principled weasel politician whose next comment and position is dictated by lobbyists and the most recent polling numbers.

Most of us are fed up with this sort of self-serving deceitful nonsense.

He is toast in the next election no matter how much money he has to spend on BS ads.
