This is huge. I dislike Connie Mack, as I’m sure that any conservative who’s serious about border security is. But this is close to a sure thing. We need every seat we can get, the state of the nation is that urgent. Of course, if I lived in Florida, I’d still cast a protest vote against him in the primary.
Nelson is weak and hasn’t had a real challenge since he was first elected 12 years ago.
I don’t think we need Mack to beat him, I won’t support him the primary. But if he’s the nominee so be it. His daddy’s name alone could be enough to dispatch Nelson.
For what it’s worth, Connie Mack currently receives a 90% rating from the Heritage Foundation for his legislative record of voting conservative. To put this in perspective, Heritage currently rates only 22 members with a conservatism rating of 90% or better in the House of Representatives, thus putting Connie Mack in the top 5%.

So although his record isn’t perfect, I’d be very happy to see him pick up a Senate seat from that left-wing loser Bill Nelson (who incidentally has a 15% rating on the Heritage Scorecard).
Debbie Wasserman-sxchiltz is deeply saddened..aww..
