Scarborough Mulling U.S. Senate Bid

Joe Scarborough, host of "Scarborough Country" on MSNBC, is weighing a run for the U.S. Senate. Scarborough would challenge Katherine Harris for the Republican primary in an effort to unseat Democrat Bob Graham in Florida.

As much as I think Katherine Harris would make a great senator, Joe Scarborough would be fantastic and has a greater chance of unseating Sen. Graham than does Harris. Although he is still considering renewing his NBC contract, I hope Scarborough runs. He would also be a much better senator than a talk show host (and let's face it - MSNBC's ratings aren't blowing anyone away).
