Hotline: Florida more exciting than Michigan, not as sexy as North Dakota for 2012 Senate races

by George Bennett | November 21st, 2011

Florida's Bill Nelson safer than Nebraska's Ben Nelson

The National Journal‘s Hotline ranks Democratic Florida Sen. Bill Nelson‘s seat as the 12th most likely to change partisan hands in 2012.

Florida should be a prime pickup opportunity for the GOP, Hotline notes, “but the party is curiously pessimistic about their chances to beat Nelson.”

In a line already being circulated by GOP Senate hopeful Adam Hasner‘s campaign to conservative base voters, Hotline notes that U.S. Rep. Connie Mack leads the Republican field, “but there are openings for a more conservative candidate to emerge.”

Hotline says the Senate seat most likely to see a change of parties is in North Dakota, where Democratic Sen. Kent Conrad is retiring and the GOP is favored to take over.

    I feel that this election will be about doing what politicians are picked to do. To create an environment in there areas that will help the majority prosper. Those with money already have a way to prosper. so its mostly how to help the 99%. Bill, if you can feel it. And, I know you are a Christian. Just ask yourself, what would Jesus do. Would he represent the 1%, or the 99%?. And then do it.

  2. No Way! Says:

    No to Adam Hasner.

  3. Michael Says:

    Just proof your vision.

  4. Jesus??? Says:

    Jesus would represent 100 % you terd. Not just the 1%ers or 99%ers… regardless though, religion has absolutely no place in politics and vice versa (even though we all know that is NOT the way it is).
