Charlie Crist Will Ask Just About Anyone to Fill out a Senate Application

Bilirakis, a spritely 79 years old, represented Florida's Ninth District in the northern Tampa Bay area for 24 years before retiring and leaving the door open for his son's election to the seat.
Frey represented the same district, but a different area, before Bilirakis. Yes, that means he hasn't been in Congress since the late '70s, though at 75, he's younger than Bilirakis. If chosen, he'd serve alongside the man who won his district when he retired, Sen. Bill Nelson.
Shaw, the youngest of this bunch at 70, represented a stretch of Broward and West Palm in Congress for 26 years before being defeated by Ron Klein in 2006.
That's eight white guys, one Cuban-American man, and an African-American woman. All, obviously, Republican.
