U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), got in trouble earlier this month when she compared Gov. Scott Walkers, R-Wis., record on womens issues to domestic violence -- but a video surfaced on Thursday showing she made the same comparison in regard to Gov. Rick Scott, R-Fla.

"It's Charlie Crist, the Democrat, that had my back, Wasserman Schultz said after former Gov. Charlie Crist, D-Fla., won the Democratic primary last month. Rick Scott has given us the back of his hand."

Despite U.S. Attorney General Eric Holders controversial record -- including his role in the Fast and Furious scandal and seizing journalists records -- U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., praised him after reports emerged that he was resigning due to personal reasons. Nelson praised Holder for his efforts on voting rights and for his help on the Dozier School investigation.

From his perch on the U.S. House Judiciary Committee, U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., said he was glad U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder is leaving office.

U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., is turning his eyes to New Hampshire, home of the first presidential primary. Rubio has left the door open to running for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016.

On Thursday, Rubio -- through his Reclaim America PAC -- emailed supporters, urging them to back former U.S. Sen. Scott Brown, R-Mass., who is running against U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H.

Libertarian gubernatorial candidate Adrian Wyllie announced on Thursday he was bringing in attorney Luke Lirot as he looks to bring legal action to take part in the debates with Gov. Rick Scott and former Gov. Charlie Crist.

Florida TaxWatch released a study on Thursday looking at the Panhandles economy and how that part of the Sunshine State is poised for future growth.

A new poll shows Amendment 2, a proposal to expand medical marijuana use in the Sunshine State, is losing steam.

WFLA released a poll taken by Survey USA on Tuesday showing 53 percent of those surveyed back Amendment 2 while 32 percent are opposed to it and 15 percent are undecided. Last week, WFLA released a poll showing 56 percent backed Amendment 2 which needs 60 percent to pass on the November ballot.

Former Gov. Charlie Crist, the Democratic candidate challenging Gov. Rick Scott in November, made up some ground in the most recent WFLA poll which was taken by Survey USA. In last weeks WFLA poll, Scott led Crist by 5 percent.

In the WFLA poll released on Tuesday, Scott leads by the narrowest of margins. Scott takes 43 percent with Crist right behind him with 42 percent. Libertarian Adrian Wyllie takes 4 percent while 11 percent back other candidates or are undecided.
