Fort Myers Congressman Mack bets his future on Romney

Connie Mack IV and Mitt Romney have been joined at the hip as Romney campaigns for the Republican presidential nomination in Florida.
If Mack isn’t at Romney’s side joining hands in a touchdown salute, he’s serving as the former Massachusetts governor’s surrogate at Newt Gingrich campaign stops, cranking up a Mack attack on Freddie Mac.
This is how Mack, the Fort Myers Republican congressman who is running for the Senate, has been spending his time leading up to Tuesday’s presidential preference primary in Florida.
Mack has gone all-in with Romney. It’s a risky example of political gamesmanship to the nth degree, a move that could propel Mack into the Senate.
