Florida Republican Rep. Connie Mackappears to be preparing for a U.S. Senate run in 2012 — though he doesn’t outright say it, only referring to the “next opportunity” and attacking his potential Democratic opponent — by asking donors for up to $125,000 in an e-mail obtainedby Dave Cantanese of Politico:

State Senate President Mike Haridopolos is the only candidate to officially announcea challenge to Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson, who is runningfor a third term. Former U.S. Sen. George LeMieux and state Rep. Adam Hasner are also considering runs in 2012, making for a crowded primary field with no clear frontrunner.
