Nelson needs to go and I can’t stand Connie Mack. Perhaps Weldon is the answer.

Rampant? Hell I forgot he even existed and he was my representative.

I guess he changed his mind about not wanting to be a career politician.

Dave Weldon will need the help of the Florida Tea Parties to win the primary.

His opposition, Senate candidate Connie Mack IV, is a fairly conservative guy and has great name recognition. His great-grandfather, Connie Mack, was a Hall of Fame owner and manager of the old Philadelphia Athletics.

He's married to Mary Bono, widow of the late, lamented Sonny.

We need the best candidate to win because the ghastly incumbent, Sen. Bill Nelson, needs to be sent permanently to the showers in November.

Yeah, I became a tad apathetic after the McCain stint, and I homeschool, but Obama encourages me to serve and keep at it for conservative values. I’m pretty sure Weldon is feeling the same.

Get Senator Jim DeMint’s support as well as Sarah Palin’s endorsement, and Rep. Dave Weldon should do well. Either Weldon or Mack would be an improvement, but I do hope that Weldon ends up winning it all.

I don’t know much about Mack except that somehow Nelson is able to smash him like a bug. Floridians obviously do not much like Mack.
