Report: Florida Sen. Bill Nelson Will Endorse Hillary

By Eric Kleefeld - January 25, 2008, 6:03PM

The Huffington Post reports that Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL), the top elected Democrat in the Sunshine State, will endorse Hillary Clinton for president.

Nelson's endorsement probably has something to do with Hillary's newly-announced support for seating the state's delegates, which were taken away by the Democratic National Committee because of the state's rogue primary. Nelson has become champion of the early Florida primary, even unsuccessfully suing the DNC in federal court to have the delegates restored.

Late Update: Nelson put out a press release earlier today, lauding Hillary for her position on seating the Florida delegates. The statement is available after the jump

1. Would you consider her intelligent if she didn't?

Damned if she does and damned if she doesn't, whatever it is.
