Where will Charlie go?

Debate number four has passed without much fanfare. No "rent is too damn high" moments. No "who am I and how did I get here?" treasures. No "and you are no Jack Kennedy" charges. Two weeks from tonight, and it is all said and done. Marco will be a Senator for six years (although with an eye perhaps toward higher office). Meek will have been a party loyalist and will either take a job in the Obama Administration or become a lobbyist. But where does Charlie go? What a colossal fall from grace! He easily could have been governor again, and lined himself up to go after Nelson in 2012. But now what? A man with no party, no office, and a lot of burned bridges. Ouch.
