Smith is certainly conservative enough, is rather old, and not a matinee idol. Florida is friendlier than other states to carpetbaggers, since most Floridians are carpetbaggers. What do you think?

Soon after losing reelection, he moved to the Sunshine State to sell real estate.

I imagine that didn't work out too well.

Bob Smith knows the RINO’s of the Republican party. He really isn’t one of them. I think he could be a good representative for the conservatives for the state but not necessarily the Republicans of the state.

Bob Smith endorsed John Kerry in 2004.

He's no conservative.

Smith seems like an OK guy, but Jeb will hand him his head in the primary.

Good, Senator Smith was an ally of Senator (”NO”) Helms when he was there. I hope he does run”: does anyone have the link to Senator Smith’s preliminary campaign: I would like to encourage him to run again?..

Boob Smith’s mind turned to mush long ago. He tried running for the Senate in Florida a few years ago and only raised a few thousand bucks before he dropped out. Well, if he wants to further embarrass himself that’s his affair.

"... the 18 years of seniority from my service in New Hampshire would make me one of the most senior Republicans in the U.S. Senate.”

A conservative republican! Beats the heck out of a Senator Suntan.
