Republican attorney general candidate Pam Bondi announced on Friday that she was receiving the endorsement of 10 more current and former sheriffs -- raising her total to 35. Bondis new backers include Sheriff John Rutherford of Duval County and two former sheriffs now serving in the Senate -- Charlie Dean and Steve Oelrich.

Jon Ausman, a member of the Democratic National Committee, sees no path to victory for either Democrat Kendrick Meek or independent Gov. Charlie Crist in their race for U.S. Senate. Both are currently way behind Republican Marco Rubio in the polls. In order to prevent the most conservative candidate from taking the seat, Ausman wants one of the others to drop out of the race. His ideal solution would be for former Gov. Bob Graham to negotiate either Crist's or Meek's exit from the race.

Just in time for the Rangers taking on the Yankees on Friday night, Rep. Matt Hudson, R-Naples, has launched a new commercial -- playing up his background as a little league umpire. Hudson has a unique district, as he often admits on the House floor and in committee meetings. It touches both coasts and covers parts of Broward and Collier counties. But Hudson does not have a Democratic opponent in November with just Larry Wilcoxon, a candidate with no party affiliation, running to oppose him. Hudson should be safe at home but the commercial could be his attempt to cover his bases.

Terry Jones, the Gainesville pastor who inflamed tensions abroad and in the U.S. recently with his threat to burn the Quran, is getting a new car for his troubles.

After much deliberation and pleading from U.S. government and military officials, who said that the stunt would endanger troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, Jones recanted. During the controversy, however, a New Jersey car dealer pulled a stunt of his own, saying in a television ad that he would give Jones a car if he opted not to burn Islam's holy book.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Rick Scott offered high praise for a federal judge who allowed Attorney General Bill McCollums challenge to new federal health-care laws to continue.

As someone who led the fight against both Obamacare and Hillarycare, I applaud the judges decision to send this lawsuit to trial. Obamacare is an unconstitutional overreach by the federal government and Im hopeful that the courts will recognize this and put an end to this travesty, said Scott who defeated McCollum in the Republican primary.

Bill OReilly from Fox News was on ABCs The View on Thursday -- and fireworks went off as two of the hosts stormed off the set after he said that a mosque being built near the site of Ground Zero in New York should not be built. Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar left after disagreeing with the talk-show host over the mosque.

Pam Bondi, the Republican candidate for attorney general, offered warm praise to a federal judge for allowing Attorney General Bill McCollums lawsuit against the federal government over new health-care laws to proceed.

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek took issue with a federal judge who let a legal challenge proceed that was launched by Attorney General Bill McCollum to new federal health-care laws.

Republicans weighed in on Thursday afternoon on a federal judge allowing Attorney General Bill McCollums lawsuit against the federal government over new federal health-care laws backed by President Barack Obama to move forward.

Former House Speaker Marco Rubio, the Republican candidate in the U.S. Senate race, praised the decision.

Republican U.S. Rep. Connie Mack, one of the first members of Congress to demand the repeal of President Barack Obama's new health-care laws, cheered a federal judges decision to let a constitutional challenge to those measures, launched by Attorney General McCollum, stand.
