Florida's New Senator

A forgettable choice:
Introducing:

Soon to be, the newest member of the United States Senate.

George LeMieux.

But don't worry about remembering the spelling. He won't be there for long. The appointee of Republican Gov. Charlie Crist of Florida to fill the seat of the resigning Sen. Mel Martinez (R-Fla.) is a placeholder. Crist is running for the seat in 2010.

Crist made a worldwide search for someone from his own team to hold the seat -- LeMieux is the governor's closest political adviser.

"I'm a Charlie Crist Republican,'' LeMieux says.
If Crist thinks this choice will help him in 2010, he's wrong. He'll get blasted.

He just did Marco Rubio, his main opponent, a big favor.
