The team behind former state House Majority Leader Adam Hasner, now running in a crowded Republican primary to take on Democratic incumbent U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, launched a Web video on Monday. In the video, the Hasner team rips Nelson for being in public office for almost 40 years and note that he has backed tax increases and supported President Barack Obama on 98 percent of votes in the Senate.

Gov. Rick Scott released his weekly address on Friday afternoon and, as he did during the 2010 gubernatorial campaign, he focused on jobs.

With news breaking on Friday that the unemployment rate in Florida dropped to 10.6 percent, former state House Majority Leader Adam Hasner, now in a crowded Republican primary for the U.S. Senate election in 2012, took aim at President Barack Obama and the man he wants to replace -- Democratic incumbent U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson.

Its probably not at the level of the Rat Pack performing for John F. Kennedys presidential campaign but rock bands will be crossing the country in support of U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, the Texas congressman making his second bid for the Republican nomination. They are dubbing it the "Rock the Revolution" tour. Libertarians backing Paul can be heartened by one of the band names -- Rothbard, a clear tribute to the iconic Austrian school economist Murray Rothbard.

Senate Majority Leader Andy Gardiner, R-Orlando, released a video on Thursday, updating Floridians on the redistricting process and the budget process. Acknowledging that the budget process will be tough as the state continues to raise revenue,Gardiner promised that Republicans in the Senate would not raise taxes or fees in the 2012 session.

"Having a Republican leader of Governor Palin's stature and importance is yet again proof of the crucial role Florida will play as the year unfolds. We are so grateful that Governor Palin has accepted our invitation."

Former state House Majority Leader Adam Hasner, now running in a crowded Republican primary to take on Democratic U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson in 2012, came out swinging at the Occupy Wall Street movement on Thursday.

A poll released on Thursday found that businessman Herman Cain now leads the pack of Republican presidential candidates in Iowa --the state that holds the first in the procession of primaries and caucuses that will determine who emerges to take on President Barack Obama in November 2012.

Businessman Herman Cain, one of the leading Republican presidential candidates in polls at the state and national levels, is drawing fire from one his rivals -- former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania -- for comments he made about abortion.

Cain first told Piers Morgan in a CNN interview, I believe that life begins at conception. And abortion under no circumstances.
