If Beto runs, he starts looking like a perennial candidate. I agree with you and would add former Atlanta Mayor Bottoms to the list of people I'd prefer not to run.

I have heard a lot of negative stuff bout Bottoms and many say that they want anyone but her and Abrams. Why is it? I don't know much about her other than that she was considered to be Biden's running mate because Kamala had attacked Biden in a debate.
The Wikipedia article about her paints a mixed picture, but she ended up unpopular, and it's best not to have this kind of baggage when running statewide in a state that usually elects Republicans:
Bottoms was investigated during the mayoral election for several lump payments to campaign staff totaling more than $180,000 that were not reported properly.[17] In October 2017, she voluntarily returned $25,700 in campaign contributions she had received from PRAD Group, an engineering contractor whose office had been raided by the Federal Bureau of Investigation the previous month.[18]
Big city mayors are not always the best candidate statewide since they govern deep blue areas and often are in tension with at least some parts of the coalition. As an example I think Michael Hancock former Denver mayor is the one CO Dem that could lose a statewide race in a stars align wrong year.

At this point, Beto seems to fit more as a professor in political science than he would as a politician.
Serving in the House for just three terms and then having three failed political campaigns isn't a good receipt for another Senate run.
