		Florida Sen. Bill Nelson is up for re-election next month and the incumbent Democrat’s worst attribute is his staunch support of the American space program.
		Nelson, as far as I can see (and hear), is fond of conjuring up the image of JFK and his challenge to put an American on the moon by the end of the 1960s.
		Nelson, along with most of the state’s legislators in Washington, maintains a short sighted “not in my backyard” approach to offshore drilling at a time when we’re supposed to be more energy self-sufficient.

	Story - McCollum's bills
		He is complaining that Florida 2000, a joint committee set up by Democratic candidate Bill Nelson and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, was unfairly tying his honest hands in the Senate race.

		That language has not yet been formally inserted into the bill, which should be finalized in upcoming weeks.

		Katherine Harris lags incumbent Bill Nelson by 27 percentage points in the U.S. Senate race, a new Miami Herald poll showed.
		Then there's Harris' strongest charge against Nelson -- that, when he was state insurance commissioner in the 1990s, he allowed national insurance companies ''to cut and run'' by setting up smaller, Florida-based firms that shielded the parent companies and, Harris said, allowed insurance rates to rise.
		Another problem facing Harris: She is against a quietly efficient politician in Nelson.

	Florida Cracker: Why Bill Nelson Won
		Bill Nelson has been in Florida politics since 1972 and is very well liked.
		Bill Nelson has been on the popular side of many local issues in Florida - in northeast Florida, where I live, he sponsored legislation to keep the USS Kennedy in service, and is now sponsoring legislation to upgrade NS Mayport so a nuclear carrier can be based there.
		While I agree that some votes were specifically votes against Harris, Nelson was a good candidate all the way around, a moderate who doesn't vote the party line, a politician with decades in the public eye and yet to have made a fool of himself.
