Mack gets warmup for Romney role at RNC

by John Kennedy | August 23rd, 2012

Underscoring the role of battleground Florida, Republican U.S. Senate nominee Connie Mack IV was named Thursday as one of the early evening speakers on the final night of next week’s Republican National Convention.

Mack, who is looking to unseat two-term Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson, will precede another Floridian, Republican U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, who is scheduled to introduce presidential contender Mitt Romney to the crowd. RNC Chairman Reince Priebus also announced Thursday a roster of other Republican Senate and congressional candidates who will get turns at the microphone during the Aug. 27-30 convention.

But Mack appears to have drawn better positioning.

Also noteworthy: No other Florida congressional Republicans, including firebrand U.S. Rep. Allen West of Plantation, a tea party favorite and one of only two black Republicans in the U.S. House, have been given mainstage speaking roles.

Expect him to use small words with elementary meanings. After all he was rated the simplest speaker in the House of Representatives, and embarrassing honor for him and Florida.

@Saving Florida’s Future, it really doesn’t matter what words he uses, come November Mack is going to wipe the floor with Little Billy Nelson, the Obama kiss-up.

Bill Nelson will not get my vote in November.

He’s been in political office in FL for over 40 years and can anyone point to something he has done for FL?

40 years is just too long for any politician in any party.

It’s a damn shame democrats support another candidate to run for Senate.

The same old people, over and over and over.
