With less than three months to go until the Republican primary to see who will emerge to challenge Democrat incumbent U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, Senate hopeful U.S. Rep. Connie Mack unveiled his team of conservatives on Tuesday.

Prominent Republicans from across the nation have rushed to South Florida to back potential opponents to challenge U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, best known for leading the Democratic National Committee, most of whom either endorsed Ozzie deFaria or Karen Harrington. But former Gov. Robert Ehrlich of Maryland endorsed yet another Republican in the race on Tuesday when he announced that he was backing attorney Gineen Bresso.

In his announcement to supporters on Monday that he was scaling back his presidential campaign, U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, insisted that his team would focus on their strategy at the convention in Tampa come August. Jesse Benton, Pauls campaign manager, did exactly that in a memo sent out on Tuesday.

Conservative leader Gary Bauer, best known for leading the Family Research Council and his bid for the Republican presidential nomination back in 2000, pointed to a number of states where attempts to push same-sex marriage failed -- and noted these are some of the chief states up for grabs in the presidential election in November.

With President Barack Obama saying that he backed same-sex marriage last week, Bauer insists this will be a major issue in a host of states the Democrat incumbent needs to target in November.

Businessman Herman Cain, best known for his bid for the Republican presidential nomination earlier in the 2012 election cycle, came out swinging at Republican U.S. Senate hopeful U.S. Rep. Connie Mack on Tuesday. Cain has endorsed former U.S. Sen. George LeMieux, Macks main rival in the GOP primary.

On Tuesday, Cain took aim at comments Mack made on LeMieuxs support of Cains 9-9-9 plan on tax reform which Mack argued was laying the groundwork for a 16 percent sales tax in Florida.

U.S. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas sent out strong signals on Monday that he is cutting back on his bid for the Republican presidential nomination.

As I reflect on our 2012 presidential campaign, I am humbled by the supporters who have worked so hard and sacrificed so much, Paul noted in an email to supporters on Monday. And I am so proud of what we have accomplished. We will not stop until we have restored what once made America the greatest country in human history.

The team behind Republican U.S. Senate hopeful U.S. Rep. Connie Mack took aim at GOP primary rival former U.S. Sen. George LeMieux on Monday in a new Web ad. The ad attacks LeMieux, who served 16 months in the Senate, for joining then-U.S. Sen. George Voinovich, R-Ohio, to jump over and vote with the Democrats to break a Republican filibuster on President Barack Obamas jobs bill back in 2010.

Former U.S. Sen. George LeMieux has done well in getting the support of Republican members of the Florida Legislature -- more than 30 so far have endorsed him -- in his bid for the GOP nomination to challenge Democrat incumbent U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson in November, and now he is bringing some of them into his primary fight with U.S. Rep. Connie Mack.

Former U.S. Rep. J.C. Watts of Oklahoma has been busy in recent months as one of the leading advocates for Newt Gingrichs presidential bid and, on Monday, he continued his endorsements, announcing that he was backing businessman Ozzie deFaria for the Republican nomination to challenge U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., best known nationally for leading the Democratic National Committee.

Rasmussen Reports released a poll of likely voters on Monday that finds a solid majority of them -- 56 percent -- want to see the federal health-care law signed by President Barack Obama in 2010 repealed while only 37 percent wish to see the law remain in place. Opponents of the legislation remain firmly against it with 46 percent of the total surveyed saying they strongly favor repeal while only 26 percent say they strongly support the law.

The poll of 1,000 likely voters was taken on May 12 and had a margin of error of +/- 3 percent.
