What sucks is that I sorta know Rep. Harris and I believe she is not only Christian but also reasonably conservative … at her core, a good lady. But, like a lot of other good hearted folks who wade into Washington, I think the Beltway has blinded her. When you become a proven big spender and you hang with creepy fellows of the baser sort, you might want to pull out of DC, regroup, find your soul, drink a margarita, shake it off and let someone else get into the fray.

The good news is that there is a strong contender in all this muck who could possibly spank Nelson. Yeah, believe it or not, there is a solid conservative challenger in the race for the Republican nomination: his name is Will McBride.

Will McBride is new to the political game (A plus for me. He doesn’t have the Beltway slime encrusted on his hull). He’s a solid character, as is his wife, the former Kristy Epperson. Kristy’s maiden name may ring a bell: her father, Stuart Epperson was cited by Time in 2004 as one of America’s 25 leading evangelicals.

Tampa born and raised, a combination of Hispanic and Caucasian blood, resolute in his Christian faith, bilingual McBride is four-square against the mess in Washington, especially what has been going on in Congress. On top of that, he is pro-life, in favor of a marriage amendment to the Constitution and -- this is particularly tasty to me -- a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association [NRA].

Y’know, as much as I respect many of the things Ms. Harris has done during her political career I believe she ought to take one for the team and bow out of her Senate bid. As a Christian, a conservative and a Florida resident I am delighted – and relieved -- Will McBride is gunning for the Senate.

And lastly … a note for Senator Nelson: You might want to look out, Bill -- chances are you won’t be competing against Ms. Katherine as you would like. From here it looks very, very, very possible you’re going to collide with Will McBride.
