3. Was it Dennis Ross? William McBride? Peter Monroe? Leroy Collins?
These are the most frequently mentioned names.

4. I am still looking - I turned my t.v. on at the end of the piece
all I can find in the news is that she applied to renew her concealed carry.

Ugh. Still looking.

and this is from yesterday:
http://www.tbo.com/news/metro/MGB5COOY3NE.html
Meanwhile, Safety Harbor developer and former HUD official Peter H. Monroe said he intends to file qualifying papers in Tallahassee by today's noon deadline, after flying back to Florida from Utah late Thursday.

Monroe, 62, has had a career that took him back and forth between development jobs in Florida and Washington, where he has held high-level positions at HUD and with the Resolution Trust Corp., the agency set up in 1989 to handle disposition of failing savings and loans.

Leroy Collins Jr., 71, of Tampa, a retired Navy officer and son of the late Florida Gov. Leroy Collins, said Thursday he also might drive to Tallahassee this morning to file.

Like Monroe, he has no experience or past activity in politics.

Another candidate who has been active for months in the race but who does not appear to have raised any money for a campaign, according to Federal Elections Commission records, is Belinda Noah of Tampa.

Noah couldn't be reached for comment Thursday night about her plans for qualifying.

9. I assume this is Jeb's doing
They're not happy with their ex-GF lately. If my xGF ran for Senator I would totally support her. No matter which one it was.

10. Just heard on C-Span Ross is in unless McBride files then he is out.
I still don`t know why the Repukelickins would put up much to vote out Bill Nelson. He votes with their fascist side on most issues of importance anyway.
Peace

12. Rove is trying to recruit McBride. If McBride won't run, Ross is waiting
in the wings, on standby, to file. He'll literally be standing there with his papers, ready to file, if by one minute to noon, McBride hasn't filed.

16. The fact that he's a Democrat is the problem
I read somewhere that Jebbie was talking about this problem...said Florida had one national-level elected Democrat and it was their goal to get rid of him too--because Florida was supposed to be an all-Republican state.

This is why Katherine Harris can't be allowed to run for the Senate against Bill Nelson. Nelson's not afraid to exploit Harris' baggage, which is so voluminous hotels borrow porters from the competition when she stays with them.

18. Bush told Jeb to "take her down"
Harris ambushes him on the tarmack and within a day or two she finally has an opponent.

19. I expect it will be Jeb Bush*
It is his entrance into the Federal government so he can run for President in 2012..These Bush*s have been sucking at the government tit forever so they can't just quit.

20. If he wants to be president he's better off where he is
In recent years, it's been a lot easier to move from a governor's mansion to the White House than from the Senate.

Quick question, though: why do you think he'll wait until 2012?
