Florida Sen. Nelson fights liberal label
WASHINGTON — The punch is coming at him in slow-mo:

L ... I ... B ... E ... R ... A ... L.

Even in the earliest moments of his 2012 reelection campaign, Florida Sen. Bill Nelson can see the windup. Twice before Republicans tried to discredit him as a liberal. Twice they failed.

"Facts," Nelson says, "are stubborn things."

1. I've had ongoing correspondence with Sen. Nelson
and although at times he's pissed me off, I have the feeling he's a good man trying to do a job for the people in his district. I would rate him a 7 on the L scale. I will support him in his re election bid.

2. Dear Sen. Bill, You don't have to fight that label, not a molecule of it is sticking to you!
Outside of the enviroment? You are very conservative.

3. Sen. Nelson voted for the "military commissions act" to continue torture in our name.
I will not work for him...and hold my nose as I could not vote for Katherine Harris last time.

It is Nelson's own record that has left him vunerable. Dems are just not excited, and I'm hearing a moderate republican would be okay, to get rid of him. Then a viable dem will run. The party will not put up a viable candidate to run against a sitting dem, even if their voting record matches say Ben Nelson?
