This is down right scary.....................

Florida: Former Gov. (and former Republican) Charlie Crist, now a Democrat, had been expected to try and get his old job back, but Sen. Bill Nelson, D, is now expressing interest. Nelson lacks Crist’s negatives and remains popular.

Either man starts out as a huge favorite over incumbent Gov. Rick Scott, R, even if he does follow through on his promise to spend $100 million, mostly his own money.

Scott’s numbers have been awful for a couple of years now, and he has never looked weaker. His approval is underwater by double digits, and he polls in the 30s against Crist, which is always fatal for an incumbent. He won by a hair in 2010 after spending $78 million, and he has since managed to alienate nearly every important group in the state — including conservatives, with his attempted embrace of Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion.

Florida Republicans have some young stars and a good bench on their team, and so the race might not seem as hopeless if Scott were to call it quits suddenly. But as long as he’s in, the calculations for mounting a primary challenge are different when you’re up against someone who is literally willing to spend a fortune.
