It was truly fun watching the Republican U.S. Senate candidates go after each other last night in their last televised debate before Tuesday's primary. It was like the team members arguing during over how to do their assignment during an episode of "The Apprentice", willing to do anything to come across as the leader to avoid those words from Donald Trump..."YOU'RE FIRED!"

It was fun watching a truly pissed off Bill McCollum going after Mel Martinez about a mailer sent claiming the former Congressman of catering to "the radical homosexual lobby" for his vote for a bill increasing penalities for hate crimes against gays and lesbians, among others. McCollum demanded an apology from the former HUD Secretary, and said that Martinez was unfit to serve as a United States Senator. It was also fun to watch McCollum try to get fellow candidate Doug Gallagher into the fray, asking him to condemn Martinez' campaign tactics.

It was fun to watch Bernard Klein show his true colours, just how radical to the right he really is. And it was fun to just see former House Speaker Johnnie Byrd there...he realizes his campaign is basically over, and time to go back to the real world. The Legislature will be a better place for that.
