Looking to cut into President Barack Obamas lead with Hispanic voters, former Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, spoke in Orlando to the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) -- and he ripped into the Democrat incumbent.
This country we love is in peril," Romney insisted. That is why I am running for president.
With Republican leaders and donors converging on Park City, Utah, this weekend for a retreat with presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, two of the leading figures from the Florida GOP will be on hand -- former Gov. Jeb Bush and U.S. Rep. Connie Mack.
With his name bandied about as a possible running mate for Mitt Romney and a new autobiography just released, a new poll shows that U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., is flying high at the national level -- even as some pundits lower his chances of ending up as the Republican vice presidential candidate.
A national poll of likely voters unveiled on Thursday finds thatRubio is growing increasingly popular at the national level as he enjoys the spotlight from the new book and the buzz his name is generating as a possible running mate for Romney.
With U.S. Rep. Connie Mack looming as his likely Republican opponent in November, Democrat U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson took off the gloves to bash Republicans as extremists on Thursday, as he continues his efforts to win a third term.
A poll released Thursday shows that Democrat Bill Nelson can expect a tough contest to retain his Senate seat in November if he is challenged by U.S. Rep. Connie Mack, the overwhelming favorite to win the Republican nomination.
The poll of registered voters shows Nelson beats out Mack, taking 43 percent while the Republican garners 39 percent.
A poll released by Quinnipiac University on Thursday shows a close race between the presidential candidates in the Sunshine State, with President Barack Obama holding a small lead over Mitt Romney.
The poll of registered Florida voters shows Obama taking 46 percent withRomney following at 42 percent.
With George LeMieux bowing out of the Republican U.S. Senate primary, Connie Mack -- now an extremely heavy favorite to win the GOP nod -- thanked his former rival for backing him before trying to focus on the Democrats. But other Republicans in the race -- namely, former U.S. Rep. Dave Weldon -- show no signs of following LeMieux to the sidelines.
Despite engaging in some heated exchanges with LeMieux, Mack thanked his former rival after the former U.S. senator announced that he was ending his campaign.
As President Barack Obama prepares to visit Florida on Friday, the television airwaves in the Sunshine State are increasingly full of ads either backing or bashing his bid for a second term.
Obama carried Florida in 2008 and polls show the Sunshine State should be close in November when the president will face Republican candidate former Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachuetts in the general election.
Former U.S. Sen. George LeMieux on Wednesday ended his bid for the Republican nomination for Senate, throwing his support behind U.S. Rep. Connie Mack in what he called "the election of our lifetime."
A poll released by Quinnipiac University on Wednesday finds that while voters in Florida have a low opinion of Gov. Rick Scott, they do support his effort to stop illegal aliens from voting.
Scott is upside down in the poll with 49 percent of those survey disapproving of the governor while 39 percent approve of his tenure in Tallahassee. A solid majority of 60 percent support Scotts effort to stop noncitizens from voting, purging them from the rolls.
