DescriptionORLANDO - The harsh words flying in the U.S. Senate Republican primary continued Wednesday as former U.S. Sen. Connie Mack defended Bill McCollum, calling attacks by rival Mel Martinez "mean-spirited, desperate and personal."

"This kind of political hate speech can only hurt our party and doom us in November," said Mack, chairman of McCollum's campaign, in a letter to 15,000 party activists in Florida.

The letter came a day after a group of social conservatives, gathered by Martinez, called McCollum untrustworthy and "anti-family" because he supports expanded embryonic stem cell research and hate crime provisions to protect gays and lesbians.
