Did Nick Loeb decide not to run for the US Senate Race only to eventually run against State Senator Ellyn Bogdanoff in State Senate District 25?
We shall see.
The Miami Herald wrote recently, that Loeb ”was spied dining with Gov. Rick Scott (and now Gov. Rick Perry’s) pollster, Tony Fabrizio. The real force behind the possible candidacy is Fabrizio’s longtime pal and sometime-dirty trickster Roger Stone, who lives on Miami Beach, as does Fabrizio.” You can read the whole piece HERE.
If you believe the tweets below from Roger Stone, where he refers to Bogdanoff as an “egomanical b—-” then it’s possible Nick Loeb will run against Sen. Bogdanoff. We’ll keep you posted.

Roger Stone for Florida Governor? We Hope Not!
Roger Stone and a friend
National Review has a story today on the possibility of Roger Stone – former Nixon “black arts” guy and all around egomaniac – running for Florida Governor. Stone’s would be a libertarian, third-party challenge to incumbent Republican governor Rick Scott and the eventual Democratic nominee (presumably Charlie Crist at this point).
Such a challenge would likely pull votes away from Gov. Rick Scott, since the conventional wisdom is that most libertarians are disaffected Republicans – much like Mr. Stone himself.
While there’s nothing wrong with candidates running to prove a point, Mr. Stone is known for his extreme vanity and ability to stay in the news well past his prime in politics. If he runs, it’ll all be about him…which we guess is little different than most politicians. Stone serves largely as a sound bite machine and troublemaker rather than a serious political commentator at present.
