The Perpetual Campaign Moves on to 2012

Its increasingly obvious that there is no off-season in American politics.

With the close of the 2010 election cycle on Tuesday, likely Republican presidential candidates are offering their take on the results and are heading to key states like Iowa and New Hampshire.

As it is in most presidential elections, the Sunshine State is shaping up to be a battleground in 2012. But there is also a U.S. Senate election with Democrat Bill Nelson expected to run for a third term. He already has his website set up. But so does one of the likely Republican candidates -- outgoing U.S. Sen. George LeMieux.

One election ends and another begins.
