Florida Democrats Among the Few and the Fortunate: DNC Hands Them $333,000

A bit of peekaboo, I see you luck befell Florida Democrats on Tuesday, when the Democratic National Committee noticed how toasty the state's highest-profile races were getting and expressed its excitement with a tidy contribution.

The DNC tossed $333,000 of its $2 million mid-term pot to Sunshine State Dems. In fact, the national party gave big bucks like these only to states where Democrats have a chance of winning Ohio and Florida.

The press talk is that the Florida loot is for just the two hotties -- the Senate race and the governor's race. But folks close to the Florida Democratic Party insist that's not so, that its to profit Democrats in all races up and down the state.

The DNC money, earmarked as part of a campaign to get voters to the polls, split like this: $666,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Committee, $666,000 to the Democratic Congressional Committee, $333,000 to Ohio and $333,000 to Florida.

Exactly how will it be used? Florida Democratic Party Communications Director Eric Jotkoff was not at liberty to say.
