#1 Nelson's vote on the actual health care bill, when it comes to that, is unimportant, and he will presumable vote against it. It was his vote for cloture that mattered, and that's done with. In two years he will be able to drag out either vote to campaign on, depending on the mood by then, and people will have forgotten there was a difference.
Same story for Mary Landrieu and presumably several other vulnerable Senators who will be freed to vote against the bill, which will pass with about 52 or 53 votes.

#3 In general Nelson is considered to have been a good Governor of the state 1991-1999. He promoted welfare reform before the 1994 National bill. He actually cut a few programs. He supported the death penalty. Increasing agriculture prosperity (due partly to ethanol subsidies) helped him. He was at a 70% approval as Senator in 2006. Like so many red state dems before him he slowly internalized the national Democratic party meta narrative.

Sad.

#4 a very good ad would compose the question of how this "~~Senator~~ representative" could whore himself out for the quarantees promised, but probably ultimately yanked back, and whether he was "inebriated a) all, b) most, c) partly, or d) only on the video Youtubing around the world right now"....oh, and how about that girl-squeeze on your staff....
