On Tuesday, the team at Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies continued to attack President Barack Obama and Democrat incumbent U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson -- both of whom appear to be headed for fights in the Sunshine State as they seek another term in office.

Florida Rep. Leonard Bembry announced on Thursday that he has filed to run against Republican U.S. Rep. Steve Southerland in 2012.
