It is apparent much to my disappointment that Florida Congressman Alan Grayson most likely will not run for the Democratic nomination for President in 2012. The grassroots movement appears to be with Howard Dean and many of us believe that Dean would be a great candidate to primary President Obama from the left.
That said, I firmly believe that Grayson should take on conservative Democratic Senator Bill Nelson in the 2012 Senate Democratic primary. Nelson has been a total disappointment in the Senate, he was a key Senator in killing the public option in the health care bill, the public option was never an option for the Senator from Florida.
Nelson is a DLC Democrat and I would love to see a great progressive like Grayson take him on in the 2012 primary. A Grayson for President run in 2012 is off the table most likely but a Senate run should be looked at with an eye on the White House in 2016.
I love Grayson and I think he would be great in the US Senate.
