The Florida Primary
Especially across the southeastern third of the state. But it's sunny in Tampa.
Yes, Big Sugar is phonebanking. With Al Sharpton. And a local rabbi. Against Rep. Jim Davis.
Says Rod Smith's campaign (D): "We can win this today -- but right now, all bets are off. With the skies pouring down rain in South Florida, we face a huge risk of people staying home. And we need every single vote."
Meanwhile, AG Charlie Crist's team is accusing Tom Gallagher of last-minute "scare" calls. To wit: ""The Tom Gallagher campaign is apparently making senior scare calls just like the Democrats did to Jeb Bush in 1994. This is a continuation of desperate attacks by our opponent in the final hours of the campaign."
And you might have missed it, but during the last two months, the Florida Democratic Party outraised the Republican Party of Florida by nearly $1M. The Dems took in about $6.1M and the GOP took in $5.1M. The GOP still has boatloads more cash on hand. Perhaps a sign that Dem donors are becoming more excited about their FL chances?
