FL Gov. Crist Picks New U.S. Senator

Charlie Crist picked a successor to retiring GOP Sen. Mel Martinez. He chose Crist's own former chief of staff, George LeMieux. I know nothing about him, but Left-wing Rep. Robert Wexler (D-FL) had this to say about LeMieux:

"Governor Crist has reached out to a man I have come to know and respect a great deal. I worked closely with George on the issue of establishing a paper trail for Florida voting machines, as well as other issues, and always found him to be a man of great integrity and intelligence."

Hmm...seems like this pick is going to be a disaster.
