[Uzybone]

Its part of his plan to revive the economy.

Mack plan: Fire Geithner. Reduce regulations on business. Reduce the size of government. Cut taxes.

[Two Americas]

22. Mack is just another person who benefited from being a jock or being related to one.

If his name wasn't Connie Mack, he would have been just another obscure Republican running for office. But he seemed to have been part of a wave of people who ran for public office off his sports name, just like:

George Allen
Jim Bunning
JC Watts
Steve Largent
Tom Osborne
Jack Kemp
Lynn Swann

I'm sure I'm leaving some names out, but you get the idea.
