Submitted by Kevin Derby on August 18, 2011 - 8:29am
On Thursday, the team behind former state House Majority Leader Adam Hasner, who is running in the Republican primary to challenge Democratic U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson in 2012, launched a new video ad against GOP rival former U.S. Sen. George LeMieux. The ad links LeMieux to the man who appointed him to the U.S. Senate -- former Gov. Charlie Crist. LeMieux had been a close associate and former chief of staff to Crist who left the Republicans during the 2010 U.S. Senate race.

Republican presidential contender Michele Bachmann vowed Wednesday to bring gasoline prices back to $2 gallon.
Speaking in South Carolina, the Minnesota congresswoman said, "Under President Bachmann you will see gasoline come down below $2 a gallon again. That will happen."
Bachmann didn't detail how she would achieve that. It did, however, sound eerily reminiscent of Richard Nixon's ill-fated wage and price controls.

Submitted by Anonymous on August 17, 2011 - 7:01pm
In an attack reminiscent of the "swift boating" of Democrat John Kerry, Republican U.S. Senate candidate Mike McCalister is under fire for allegedly inflating his military record.
Accusing McCalister of making "grossly misleading statements on his website," Chuck Winn said the retired Army colonel embellished his "special operations" service.
Winn, himself a retired colonel, told the political website Shark Tank that McCalister's home page subsequently deleted references to being a "retired special operations Army colonel."
