George LeMieux Team Fires Away at Connie Mack

On Friday, the team behind former U.S. Sen. George LeMieux fired away at U.S. Rep. Connie Mack, one of LeMieux's chief rivals for the Republican nomination to take on Democrat incumbent U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson in 2012. A Quinnipac University poll released earlier in the day showed Mack out front in the GOP primary field with 32 percent and LeMieux in second with 9 percent.

Congressman Connie Mack inherited a popular name, said Anna Nix, a spokeswoman for LeMieux, in a statement reminding voters that Macks father held the Senate seat for 12 years and is related to the legendary baseball manager with the same name. Once Republican voters realize Congressman Mack is not his father, voted for trillions in deficit spending and wasteful pork, and voted to raise his own congressional salary, his support will collapse.
