George LeMieux's Camp Takes Aim at Bill Nelson and Harry Reid

The team behind former U.S. Sen. George LeMieux, now running in the Republican primary to challenge Democratic U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson in 2012, went on the attack on Friday, bashing Nelson for taking part in a fundraiser hosted by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., in Lake Tahoe.

Senate Godfather Harry Reid's latest job is under way in Nevada, where he will be hosting a $10,000-a-person party for Bill Nelson and other liberal family members. In exchange for campaign cash, Reid will ask Nelson for some favors that include supporting his aggressive left-wing operation, wrote Brian Seitchik, LeMieuxs campaign manager, in an e-mail sent out on Friday morning. Nelson has been a reliable Reid ally for years, spending taxpayer money and serving as a vote for Obamacare, higher taxes, earmarks, and amnesty.
