Nelson's VP Prospects sinking?

Nelson
If we had a Bill Nelson Veep-O-Meter the needle this week would be dropping far away from him getting a vice presidential nod after his mail-in-primary plan was so roundly torpedoed. Give Nelson credit for stepping up with something concrete, but if he can't convince a single member of the Democratic congressional delegation to back his plan should a candidate expect he can carry the state for a candidate.

While Florida's primary remains stuck in debacle mode, Michigan Democrats look more and more likely to conduct a do-over.
