In News We Kinda Already Knew: Buchanan Not Running for Senate

September 28, 2011 by Kenneth

Florida independent reports Buchanan, who is turning into the Chris Christie of Florida, isn’t running for Senate:

Though polls have suggested that Buchanan would be a competitive candidate, the congressman isn’t without some controversial baggage. Buchanan has long been plagued by rumors that he pressured employees to donate to his campaign, offering them reimbursements in return. Though most of the more than 14 lawsuits against him have been thrown out, his former business partner (along with a car dealership he once owned) were recently fined almost $68,000 for an “extensive and ongoing” campaign contribution scheme.

Buchanan is kind of a useless member of the House and would be a useless member of the Senate if he had any chance of winning, which he doesn’t.
