FL-SEN 2018: Scott likely to run against Nelson

[KingSweden]

He's pretty open about running. I'm not entirely sure if he will or not, but if he does enter the race, he'll probably clear the field. I'd rather have DeSantis run personally.

Agriculture Commissioner Putnam is running for Governor in 2018, while CLC is looking at running for CFO. Jeff Atwater, the current CFO, could run for Governor or Senate, but I think his best bet is to try and wiggle his way onto the gubernatorial ticket. DeSantis might possibly run for Attorney General, but frankly, I think that'd be a mistake. Case in point, the rise, plateau, and slow fall of Bill McCollum.

My understanding is Atwater out of all races

Is he? I haven't heard anything that you haven't, but I think ending his career on the high note of Lt. Governor before collecting a pension and joining a lucrative lobbying firm based somewhere off Jefferson or Adams Street here in town would make sense for him. I'd make sense.

I frankly don't see any room for Bondi at this point. What else is there for her to do? I guess she can run for Congress or the legislature, but she won't beat Scott or Putnam in the Senate/Gubernatorial primaries.

That's per RRH. I consider you more connected
