Because he, in his heart, still opposes gay marriage. This was forced.

Not sure why he hasn't been primaried yet, because Florida isn't exactly a conservative state. Although, considering the Florida Dem Bench...

There isn't really any reason to primary him or any reason to expect a primary challenger would win.

This is hardly the only issue he's been lousy on. He was one of only 4 Senate Democrats to vote to permanently repeal the estate tax.

Bill Nelson becomes the 51st senator to support same-sex marriage.  A majority of the U.S. Senate now supports marriage equality.  

Joe Biden could already break the tie for marriage equality. Of course it would probably have been filibustered.
