Florida Trend Runs Fascinating Profile of George LeMieux

Florida Trend ran a fascinating profile by Amy Keller on U.S. Sen. George LeMieux and offered a glimpse of what his future ambitions are -- adding to the growing speculation that LeMieux could be interested in taking on Bill Nelson in 2012. The article looks into LeMieux building bridges with Republicans at the state and national level. For example, despite his long history with Charlie Crist, LeMieux is backing former House Speaker Marco Rubio, the Republican candidate, over the governor in the U.S. Senate race. LeMieux also won rare praise from Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky who called the Floridian the most effective appointed senator that he seen in his service in the Senate.
