"I'm in," George LeMieux told the St. Petersburg Times, in announcing his candidacy for U.S. Senate. "I'm in because the country and our government is on the risk of failure. This is a crisis. I saw it up close. If we don't rein in the spending we're going to melt the economy. I can't stand by on the sidelines and let that happen."
Adam C. Smith, St. Petersburg Times political editor












George LeMieux is a party hack. In the entire time that he held Mel Martinez' seat (for Charlie Christ who lost it to Rubio) he voted 100% with the pary. He did nothing at all to stand out as a senator. He was a seat warmer and that was it.
The only thing LeMieux will accomplish is finishing the GOP parasitic take-over of Florida politics.
