The Republican field in Florida to take on Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson just got shaken up, with state Senate President Mike Haridopolos, a frontrunner in the race, suddenly dropping out after previously strong (but diminishing) fundraising.

Haridopolos said in a statement, and accompanying YouTube video, that his duties as state Senate leader and a candidate U.S. Senate were coming into conflict:

Yet...it became increasingly clear to me, and those around me, that the responsibilities I was managing on both fronts...were in conflict.

I truly believed I could handle both jobs....but I was wrong.

And now I am determined to make it right.
He also added: "Instead, I am re-dedicating myself to finishing the job you sent me to do. Here in Florida."

But as one commenter put it, and I concur: WHAT WAS going to come out of the closet on this guy?
