I’v heard the same rumor, but could not confirm or deny it.

In 2000, there were rumors that Smith had opted out of the USTP field because he perceived anti-Catholic bias in the party. I interviewed Howard Phillips around that time, and he said he was not aware of that concern, nor of any such bias.

Well with what happened in 2000, it could be possible.

PTK,

I sincerely doubt it. I’d bet he’ll run only as a Republican. Should he lose, I’d look for him to become a Presidential candidate for the CP in 2012.

According to Politics1.com http://www.politics1.com/fl.htm, he is running as a Republican. But i predict that he will fail miserably and seek a minor party’s nomination and if that fails he will run as an independent. Basically the senatorial equivalence of Alan Keyes in the 2008 Presidential Election, even though I admire the guy.

Fine here now too. I hadn’t realized the computer reset while I was sleeping. As I looked at more sites and posts it became clear what happened.

Is he considering running on the CP ticket or GOP? The article isn’t clear on that. Is he certain on it himself yet?

In another email, Sen. Smith addressed ballot access issues after I asked if I could post details of our email on this site. He claimed he’d “seen that site” and that he was very concerned about ballot access issues, since he sees them as unfair. I know that Sen. Smith is very close with Constitution Party founder Howard Phillips.
