As the week closed out, the rhetoric coming from the Mack campaign took on a rather fervent pitch. In a press release sent out Thursday, it made the claim that opponent George LeMieux has “endorsed raising Florida’s sales tax to a nation-leading 16 percent.”

The recent resignation of Al Armendariz, the Environmental Protection Agency administrator whose regulatory philosophy included “crucifying” American energy companies, doesn’t signal a softening of this Administration’s wild-eyed and badly flawed energy policy.
