Join me at 9 ET when we talk to

Former New Hampshire Republican Sen. Bob Smith

who is running for Florida's open U.S. Senate seat.

Smith, who has lived in Sarasota for seven years after serving two terms as U.S. Senator from New Hampshire, was sitting on the sidelines and ready to retire, but became frustrated as a true conservative with the direction the country was going.

Republicans seeking the seat are Gov. Charlie Crist and former House Speaker Marco Rubio. U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek is the top Democratic candidate for the seat Republican Mel Martinez is leaving after one term.Smith was elected to the New Hampshire House in 1984 after two unsuccessful campaigns and then was elected to the Senate in 1990.

In a span of a few months, Smith also ran for president, dropped out of the Republican party, became an independent, ended his presidential campaign and returned to the GOP.

Before entering the political scene, the Navy veteran was a teacher and a baseball coach, a school board chairman and owner of a real estate agency.

Rubio is a conservative...if Smith runs, that pretty well cinches it for Crist...I am so damned frustrated with the GOP now I am not sure I will ever vote for one again...

He endorsed John Kerry in 04. That loses any support I would even think about giving.

There's a weirdness factor to Bob Smith I can't get past.

The GOP powers that be have settled on Crist, and without a miracle or a visible interposition of God, Crist it will be.

Just how important do these politicians think they are?

He (Bob Smith) is so important (in his mind) that he does not want to deny the people of Florida his representation. Geez, just go away!

Go Marco Rubio.

It is about time for some fresh blood.
