Adam Hasner and George LeMieux

While the Republican primary to see who will challenge Democratic U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson is still a year away, two of the leading hopefuls turned up the heat and fired away at each other Thursday.

The team behind former state House Majority Leader Adam Hasner launched a new video ad against their candidate's 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 -- the man who left the Republicans during the 2010 U.S. Senate race.

As for me, the only guy we can count on is Mike McCalister. Both Adam and George are just too close to the GOP and other political figures. We need a conservative outsider. Mike McCalister for Senate 2012.

Put a fork in LeMieux, he's done. A Charlie Crist endorsement must mean LeMieux is running in another party. Poor Hasner must be on suicide watch losing the Crist endorsement.

There is only one choice Col. Mike McCalister; he's Got Tea.
