He doesn't go on talk shows because the last time he did, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qZjPASfO3M" rel="nofollow">he went on Letterman and was utterly obliterated</a>. When he had his own short-lived TV show, <a href="http://crooksandliars.com/logan-murphy/flashback-limbaugh-gets-owned-studio-" rel="nofollow">he had the entire studio audience cleared out one day when they called him on his BS</a>. He's a terrible debater, and he knows it. He also has far too many enormously racist and idiotic statements on the record to make it through a campaign. His audience of dittoheads would come out and vote as they were told, but he'd never be able to overcome his far-right insanity with moderates or independents, let alone draw Democratic votes.NRHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12565160695480579309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-69044279789319067832010-10-19T11:22:11.631-05:002010-10-19T11:22:11.631-05:00Bill Nelson is as popular as syphilis right now he...Bill Nelson is as popular as syphilis right now here in FL.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04657173781097082528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-79456112871725068422010-10-16T10:11:19.226-05:002010-10-16T10:11:19.226-05:00Yes, this polls does seem to be a waste of time. ...Yes, this polls does seem to be a waste of time.

That would be a possible match-up, and it reveals just how weak Sen. Nelson is.

Rush Limbaugh, with no political interest, no visibility as a politician, and no political money behind him would start out within 14 points of an established, incumbent Democrat Senator (according to a decidedly Left-wing polling outfit). That's pretty impressive. <br /><br />And, as another commenter pointed out, Rush Limbaugh truly would eat Bill Nelson for lunch in a debate. <br /><br />It's strange to ask voters this type of a question. Most voters will assume it's a joke and they wouldn't want to be seen as voting for a "celebrity" candidate who isn't actually running or serious about being involved in politics. <br /><br />If Limbaugh actually ran, you'd be surprised at how seriously people would take him because it would be quickly apparent that he's not this cartoonish character the media make him out to be. Once the caricature of Limbaugh is destroyed and he's talking politics, he'd overtake Bill Nelson within a matter of weeks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-37256684368190592642010-10-15T08:20:26.073-05:002010-10-15T08:20:26.073-05:00Talk about being desperate to get a mention on Rus...Talk about being desperate to get a mention on Rush's show!

If this were 2008 (though 2012 won't be quite as Democratic as 2008, most likely), Nelson would be up 53-33 and 45-31 over Limbaugh and Mack, even assuming independents still lean as Republican as they do now (and they probably won't favor the Democrats as they did in the last two cycles, but they probably won't be as Republican as they are this cycle).Dustin Ingallshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00599131416393266722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-15888189554075459462010-10-14T12:38:53.329-05:002010-10-14T12:38:53.329-05:00Also these are 2010 likely voters.
