i know they've spoken, bill nelson and charlie crist, about this.red that nelson wasn't going to do it and yet nelson keeps sort of doing these things that gin up the speculation he's going to get in. nelson claims his comments in daytona he was checking but nonetheless, it doesn't help charlie crist. >> adam, briefly, what type of a timeline are we looking for here for an actual decision? >> i think it's very unlikely bill nelson gets in. bill nelson was running for governor back in '90, looked like the sure nominee and lawton child decis decided to leave th senate and run for governor and beat nelson. i think the window is fast closing for him to completely rule it out. >> adam smith, thank you so much. we appreciate it. we're going to head back out to chuck and have a little bit of fun just in time for the end of april. we're wrapping up our tdr march madness tournament, it started with 64 folks who never became commander in chief. we let you, the viewer, pick the contender you would like to have sent to the white house. chuck, you have the champ

charlie crist is fighting back with this factual ad. >> rick scott's at it again. spending special interest millions to tear down charlie crist. >> the press calls the attacks misleading, mostly false, incorrect. truth is, rick stott wants to take us back to the days of insurance companies denying coverage for pre-existing conditions, where women are charged more than men and lifetime caps for kids with cancer. that's the choice. the government trusts you can work with both sides to fix the problem to one you can't trust at all. why is this such a big story? there's four megastates, california, new york, texas and florida. the only megaswing state will be florida. rick scott is on the wrong side of history, again like the rest of the republican party. what is bad about obamacare? actually, don't i was going to come out and ad-lib a few mings. i don't know why so many are fighting to take health care away from anybody else. but the president did that today. i'll move to minimum wage. they're on the wrong side of history on that. i'll move to employment benefits. i'l

and this is the way that charlie crist is running for governor again against republican rick scott, who is dead set against obama care. let's listen to which are lee crist's ad. >> truth is, rick scott wants to take us back to the days of i insurance companies denying people with pre-existing conditions, and putting caps on even children with cancer. >> breaking the law up into the pieces that people like and say, that guy is going to take this stuff away from you. and really not even saying the affordable care act. >> i think part that's what they need to do. the appeal to wait a minute is being a woman was a pre-existing condition. women play paid more, sometimes much more than men. you have a gender gap, go out there and run on that. these are the things that we're learning about the law. it seeps democrats are now learning about the law. >> i'm not so sure if it make sense to run away from even talking about the affordable care act itself, was that is the way charlie crist is doing it and he's leadinging in the polls against rick scott. what does it seem that some republicans are ba

now, compare it with the charlie crist hug during the last campaign. okay. now, that -- that hug was infamous, because it was very, very touchy-feely, and it would change the whole mood, right? so you would see the two hugs compare. did kathleen sebelius get short-tripped on the hug? she did get a kiss. you know? she did get a kiss. i'm just saying, we're comparing and whether that's any trouble, because ever since i noticed that hug and pointed it out to you, now talk that she's going to run for senate. there you go. take a look at this. >> al qaeda's on the path to defeat. al qaeda's top ranks have been hammered. al qaeda has been decimated. >> maybe not. the largest known gathering of al qaeda members in years -- like a convention -- it was caught on tape. the open air, looks like yemen. at this open-air gathering for drones the world over to see, the terror group vowing to eliminate america, even had signs, which make it is easy. you don't have to chant it, just pass the signs around. in full view of drones. they say it shows al qaeda, i guess, just feel

with charlie crist being a democrat now, they think she would win in november by about a point and ae'll see if they can talk her into taking that risk. thanks again for sharing your sunday morning with us. "state of the union" with candy crowley starts right now. >>> sunday morning's questions. are those underwater sounds that searchers are detecting the pings from black boxes on flight 370? and did someone deliberately fly this 777 on a path designed to avoid indonesian radar? >>> today -- two ships in the search detect underwater signals. >> this is an important and encouraging lead, but one which i urge you to continue to treat carefully. >> the race to find the black boxes before their batteries die. >>> and then, running against all odds. how democrats push for a november miracle.

. >>> a very hot governor's race in florida, governor rick scott and charlie crist who is running asemocrat now. this next week is the last week of the legislative session and this week rick scott came out with his first spanish language ad in a pitch to latinos. he's also come out behind a bill that would push in-state tuition for some children of illegal immigrants, but the bill seems to be dieing in the senate, and so it will be really interesting to see whether or not he can put real political pressure in there to pull that one out for his campaign. it's especially interesting because he's had such an evolution on this issue, taking a hard line on immigration issues back in 2010. >> very different rick scott. we'll watch that. >> manu. >>> democrats in red states probably think they've seen a way to run to the left of president obama while getting seniors out to the polls. how? by going after the president's proposal to increase cost of living adjustments, decrease the amount of annual cost of living adjustme adjustments, social security beneficiaries get. a proposal known as cha

what would peel them away from charlie crist or any other democrat to go with a governor who has reallyurned away any type of immigration reform conversation? >> well exactly. this is the governor who actually went and said, i want to get elected so i can bring arizona-style immigration reform to florida. thank goodness, he hasn't been allowed to do that. but i will tell you he's now trying to pretend he's for hispanics but he's not. most of us are middle class, hard-working people. not stealing from the federal government to become billionaires. we actually work hard. we want our identifications educated. he took money away from education. now, he's putting money back into education, pretending that he cares about our kids' education, public education. every step of the way he actually didn't believe that dreamers should get a driver's license or that dreamers should have an opportunity to go to college. there are so many examples where this governor has not been here for us. it's not working as he says. >> he plans on running the ad in areas with big hispanic populations including mia
