Scarborough Being Wooed for Senate Bid

Confirming yesterday's report, talk-show host and former Rep. Joe Scarborough (R-FL) said "he has already talked with Sen. Elizabeth Dole, who heads the National Republican Senatorial Committee, and plans to meet with Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman and White House officials next week about whether to get into the race to unseat" Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL), the AP reports. "Scarborough said Republican leaders are concerned about Harris' electability because of the role she played in the 2000 presidential recount."

Meanwhile, the Sarasota Herald Tribune says Rep. Mark Foley (R-FL), "often mentioned as a potential candidate for the Senate," recently hinted at a possible run in 2006.
